Minigie (Angie Phon): Hi there! I’m the creator of Minigie and an Illustration major at OCAD. I love making cute art and hope to create a cozy little space for all lovers of trinkets and stationery! My favorite thing to do is drawing my funny lil guys doing silly, fun things, hoping they make someone as happy as I was when drawing them. I’ve always enjoyed making art, especially cards for people I care about, as a way to make their day a little more special. And so with Minigie, I hope to spread that happiness and joy to others, one little doodle at a time!
Minigie will be selling cards, stickers, prints, and keychains
