Because your pet isn't just a pet. They're family. And now, they're art.™

"It looks just like them!"

Hey there! We're John and Victoria; the husband and wife team behind CritterCute Studio.

At CritterCute, our love for animals is the heart of everything we create.

Growing up on a small farm taught John to appreciate the unique personalities of every creature — from barn cats and chickens to the wild birds visiting the fields. Later, traveling across the country and exploring National Parks deepened that connection even further. Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat — sometimes bold, sometimes timid — left a lasting impression that we both carry with us to this day.

CritterCute was born from that lifelong appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s “kawaii” style?

“Kawaii” is the Japanese word for cute. The art uses soft colors, rounded lines, and big welcoming eyes to turn pets (and even wildlife) into friendly, joyful characters you can’t help but love.

Meet Kumu

Say aloha to Kumu, our cheerful mascot and the heart of CritterCute!

We chose the name Kumu because in Hawaiian, it means “source” or “foundation”—and that’s exactly what this little gecko represents for us. Kumu is the spirit of connection: between our love for animals, our passion for creativity, and the joy we hope to share with every sticker, magnet, and critter-inspired creation.

So whenever you spot our gecko friend, know that you’re seeing the source of our inspiration—and the start of something adorable.

Our Mission

At CritterCute, we don’t just draw animals—we bring them to life with a dose of kawaii charm.
Founded by an animal-loving illustrator with a flock of parrots and a background in design, CritterCute started with one simple idea: what if your favorite bird, cat, or critter could become a semi-realistic, chubby sticker?
Most of our designs are inspired by real pets (like Loke the Galah or Mango the Conure), and every critter is created with care, a smile, and just the right amount of roundness.
