About

Studio Sunanda celebrates life milestones that don’t come with a gift registry.

This Toronto-based creative studio designs warm & hopeful art and stationery to help people live intentional lives with a bit of whimsy. Right now, Studio Sunanda is a one-woman show, focusing on celebrating moments otherwise missed and the other significant others in our lives.

Hello! I'm Sunanda (she/her).

I'm a Canadian illustrator and I live in Toronto, with my two cats.

Studio Sunanda exists to honor achievements big and small: I aim to help people live intentional lives with warmth and whimsy.

My purpose in life is to help people feel more seen and to foster greater connection between others. My hope is that Studio Sunanda can take us a few steps closer to a world that's more joyful, connected, and human.

Guiding values

  • Authenticity

    I believe in embracing the messiness of life: not just the picture-perfect moments but all the moments in between.

  • Courage

    I'm proud to speak from the heart and connect with people through every part of the human experience–from the wonderful to the woeful. It's important to me to do what is right, especially on days when it feels hard.

  • Inclusivity

    This is a woman-owned small business; LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly. I seek to amplify the representation of marginalized experiences through my work and inclusion is at the heart of how I work.

  • Accountability

    I commit to taking responsibility for my actions and will own up to mistakes, when I make them.

Sustainability

I prioritize ethical sourcing, fair pricing, and sustainable production processes. All materials are sourced from Canadian suppliers, prioritizing fellow women-owned businesses. All products are shipped in 100% plastic-free packaging.

Studio Sunanda is based in Toronto, Ontario, originally home to many Indigenous peoples including the Wendat, the Anishnaabe, and the Haudenosaunee. As I'm a recent newcomer to this land, I'm early in my journey in learning about this place and its history. I seek to learn more about the history of the art and culture that shapes the creative spaces we inhabit today and hope to encourage others to do so as well.
