Hello!
Puchi began as a personal escape—after burning out from daily work, I found healing in the playful, grounding process of working with clay. Ceramics reminded me how creativity can restore joy, and I started making pieces that reflect that feeling.
The name "Puchi" (pronounced “Poo-Chee”) means “small and adorable” in Japanese. It reflects my love for colorful, imperfect pieces that bring warmth and delight to everyday life.
Alongside my handmade work, I curate a small collection of ceramics by international artists. As a solo maker, this allows me to share more joyful pieces while supporting fellow creators I admire.
At Puchi, every object is a reminder to slow down, smile, and enjoy the little things.
Team members
🎨 Cyndi - Creator
Once a burnt-out desk worker, now a full-time ceramic dreamer (well, part-time—but full-hearted). Cyndi is the hands behind every Puchi piece, fueled by colorful underglaze, too many snack breaks, and the thrill of opening a glaze kiln like it’s a treasure chest. She believes in the joy of small things—and big mugs.
💪 Yuki — Head of heavy lifting & occasional photographer
Also known as Cyndi's partner. From hauling market displays to lifting boxes that are somehow always heavier than expected, she handles the grunt work with grace (and the occasional eye-roll). She also sometimes steps in as Puchi’s product photographer, helping capture just the right angles — while reminding Cyndi that yes, the photo looks great already. True MVP energy.
🐶 Doudou — Head of wellness & walk breaks
Emotional support manager and professional tail-wagger. Doudou ensures work-life balance by insisting on walks, snuggles, and fresh air. She specializes in stress reduction, zoomies, and being the goodest girl.
🐱 Nimi — Chief Muse Officer (aka.CMO)
Small. Fluffy. Judgy. Nimi provides daily inspiration through her effortless elegance, impeccable napping form, and occasional “supervision” from the working desk. Every cute idea probably started with a glance from her.
