"Spreading Happiness Through Cute Art"

Seratomine is a cozy online shop lovingly made by me, Ashlin. Everything you find here has been either has been handmade by me, or designed by me. I’m a one-person-business at the moment so I do everything from creating new products, taking photos of products, designing and managing this website, attending events, and packaging and shipping products. I have many different endeavors that I pour my heart into: I draw and paint both traditionally and digitally on my iPad, crochet my own patterns, make unique beaded jewelry, make stickers at home with my own printer and Cricut machine, and currently am also learning 3D modeling and design. My hope for the future is to also add ceramics to that list.

My goal through Seratomine is to bring joy, warmth, and positivity to your day. The brand Seratomine is all about creating a welcoming and warm atmosphere. Its name is a fusion of "serotonin" and "dopamine," the natural chemicals that bring about joy and happiness within us. This combination perfectly captures what I want to convey through Seratomine.

As someone with ADHD, I'm always chasing that thrilling dopamine rush—the excitement of new ideas and endless possibilities that fuel my creativity. It's this excitement that shines through my handmade creations. At the same time, I understand the struggles of self-doubt, anxiety, and perfectionism. That's where serotonin steps in, offering comfort and reminding us all of the love, kindness, and encouragement we deserve. Through Seratomine, I hope to create a safe haven, a cozy refuge where you can find comfort and inspiration whenever you need it.

In my journey, I've discovered that embracing silly, cute, and sometimes imperfect art allows me to let go of negativity and perfectionism. It opens my eyes to the beauty of small things, like the colorful flowers on a walk, the friendship of a shy cat, or the fresh scent of rain. I try to keep myself aware of simple pleasures, whether it's enjoying my favorite candle, sipping a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee, wearing a comfy outfit, or admiring beautiful and inspiring art around me. My hope is that you too can find inspiration and joy in the small things, always remembering to be kind to yourself along the way.
