HI THERE!

We’re Chia and Hleeda, two Hmong-American sisters and the duo behind Unicorn Eclipse®. Based in the Twin Cities, MN, we’re graphic designers and illustrators who started this shop back in 2017 as a creative escape from the stress of college life. Back then, it was just a hobby.

The name Unicorn Eclipse comes from Chia’s love of unicorns and Hleeda’s name, which means “moon” in Hmong. It’s a dreamy combo that reflects our art style: bright pastels, magical vibes, and soft, whimsical energy.

When the world slowed down during the pandemic, we found ourselves drawing again. Creating brought us peace and joy in the middle of all the chaos. After Chia was laid off from her full-time job and left feeling stuck and unsure, she encouraged Hleeda to give sticker-making another try. Hleeda loved the idea, and we jumped back in together.

What started as a small passion project began to grow. On January 15th, 2021, we made the decision to fully invest in our art and business, choosing creativity and comfort during a time we needed it most. We started off with just stickers, then slowly expanded into stationery and full collections. As more people found us, we saw how our art helped others reconnect with their inner child and find happiness in everyday moments.

Now we are both happily creating full time with a small, hardworking, and dedicated team.

Our work is rooted in the belief that life is about the little things. There is beauty in the mundane and magic in the simple. You're never too old to embrace your inner child and make space for joy. We hope our story inspires others to keep going, keep dreaming, and keep creating.

Thanks so much for being here! We hope our little world brings a bit of joy to yours!
