“Bringing pets, people & planet together”
Hi, this is Vivien! The owner + creator in creating customize designs in-house. self-taught in art & design, and creating my own art in my little home studio!). Stick M’ Up is a Toronto-based customising design shop with an eye for personalised design. We like to break the mold and make a statement. We specialized in pets/ doggos but we can create so much more. Being a dog mom of 2, I’m totally intriuged with how amazing dogs are, by the moment when we brought home our first dog - Moose; and fast forward the years, I felt as if I didn't share the joy in having them with the world, it would be such a regret.
Cheers to the unconditional love, that dogs bring into our lives 💛.
How did it all begin?
- “We love pets, just like you!
We are super introverted until we adopted Moose in 2018, it was so much fun to alongside the doggo community. It’s you guys who inspired us to create the most meaningful, bespoke goodies to BOTH human and doggos to gift and keep ourselves!
Realizing existing products with the lack of designs, we wanted to explore high-quality & sustainable dog gifting products - “Why don’t we create something truly special for the pawrents and their fur babies to keep for a lifetime?” - We’d set out on a search and reach out to pawrents to dig into what all dog lovers want in particular., then work towards different new ideas/ designs, and to bring our one-of-a-kind items to life.
My lifelong art obsession, love for creating new special products, and entrepreneurial spirit decided my fate….where the idea of Stick M’Up!, my first creative outlet/ shop begins 🎨
Why the name of “Stick M’Up” ?

— Our Custom Products —
-
Every product we design starts by anticipating the needs of who will be using it. From there, we reverse-engineer it to achieve a result that combines functionality, style and sustainability.
One of the reasons why we make all products ourselves is so that we can have full control over quality. We believe that quality hides in the details, so it’s important that our products are made with the proper level of attention and care.
-
We believe that a truly sustainable product is one that covers both the well-being of both the planet and people. So for instance, an eco-friendly product that is made in a sweatshop is not a sustainable product, because it jeopardizes human well-being in the production process.
“Our products is made in a sweetshop, not a sweatshop"
-
We run a low-waste workshop, meaning that all materials are used to their maximum yield and leaving minimum waste behind. We design our products in a way that it consumes the full extent of the materials. E.g. We use fabric scraps as: mini tote keychains/ fabric to test out designs etc.
We also sourced our fabric from local fabric stores, instead of fulfilling MOQ from large oversea factories to avoid material wastage & to support local businesses.

Creativeness + 100% Originality
All our illustrations are 100% drawn by hand with love, on my iPad, without any edit done by any software. We co-created our design with our clients, and we love to have you participate along the process! You also get to make as many tweaks as you like to the works. Do share your ideas with us and we’ll try our very best to bring them into life! :)

Asian Canadian 🇭🇰 🇨🇦 + Woman Owned Small Business
There is no better way to understand + represent a culture than through art. We stand for who we are, and making impacts (no matter big or small) to Canadian culture and beyond, embedding values of where our roots from, crediting our unique cultural upbringing and heritage toward shaping my core values as an entrepreneur. Asian Canadian women are truly inspiring and they deserve the recognition.
Being one of the woman entrepreneurs and supporting women-owned businesses, it’ll be the best way to boost the economy, foster innovation to shift away from traditional cultural habits and social norms….in the hope of closing the gender gap,
