There was a moment when I realized I wasn’t just making keycaps.At first, I thought about shapes.
Colors.
Textures.
How something small could sit neatly on a keyboard.But over time, something quietly changed.People started sending me photos —
my little bears on their desks,
cats peeking between keys,
pandas resting beside notebooks and coffee cups.They didn’t talk about “keycaps.”
They talked about company.
small things start to matter more than you expect.A glance downward during a stressful moment.
A pause between emails.
A quiet second before continuing.I began designing my pieces not as decorations,
but as tiny companions.Not loud.
Not demanding attention.
Just there —
bringing softness into a space that’s usually very functional.
Gift Kitties feel like something wrapped just for you.
Pandas from the Little Panda Kitchen carry playful warmth from everyday food.They don’t need names shouted out loud.
They don’t need explanations.They exist to quietly share space with you.
I never try to erase the feeling of being handmade.Small differences remain.
Tiny variations in expression, color, and surface.I believe that perfection can feel distant —
but imperfection feels human.And that’s where warmth lives.
It’s where you think.
Rest.
Sometimes struggle.If one small character can make that space feel lighter,
then it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do.That’s what Oai Studio is about.Not collecting things —
but collecting moments of quiet comfort.
these little companions one by one.Thank you for letting them live on your desk.

From Objects to Little Presences
When you spend long hours at a desk,small things start to matter more than you expect.A glance downward during a stressful moment.
A pause between emails.
A quiet second before continuing.I began designing my pieces not as decorations,
but as tiny companions.Not loud.
Not demanding attention.
Just there —
bringing softness into a space that’s usually very functional.
Why I Care About Characters
Every character I create starts with a simple question:What kind of feeling should this bring?Cream Bears are gentle and comforting.
Gift Kitties feel like something wrapped just for you.
Pandas from the Little Panda Kitchen carry playful warmth from everyday food.They don’t need names shouted out loud.
They don’t need explanations.They exist to quietly share space with you.
Imperfection Is Part of the Story
Even though I now use 3D modeling and printing,I never try to erase the feeling of being handmade.Small differences remain.
Tiny variations in expression, color, and surface.I believe that perfection can feel distant —
but imperfection feels human.And that’s where warmth lives.
A Desk Is a Personal Place
Your desk isn’t just where you work.It’s where you think.
Rest.
Sometimes struggle.If one small character can make that space feel lighter,
then it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do.That’s what Oai Studio is about.Not collecting things —
but collecting moments of quiet comfort.
Until Next Time
I’ll keep shaping, adjusting, and imaginingthese little companions one by one.Thank you for letting them live on your desk.
