The pixyit story

From overflowing art bins to inspiring innovation

Hi, I'm Yang, the founder of pixyit.

This is our family, including our two non-human kids, Ninja, our beloved dog who recently passed and will always be in our hearts, and Axol, our endlessly cheerful axolotl. They are part of our family story, and in their own way, part of the pixyit story too.

I started pixyit in Brooklyn, NYC, with a simple belief: kids’ creativity deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.

What began as a way to preserve my own children’s artwork and the stories behind it grew into a platform where families can collect those creative moments, share them with pride, and turn them into meaningful keepsakes.

At pixyit, children’s artwork can live in a beautiful gallery, be shared with family and supporters, and become one-of-a-kind items designed with care. Kids receive 3% from orders featuring their art, helping them see that their ideas have value. We also donate 5% of every order to youth nonprofits, so creativity can spark confidence, connection, and positive impact.

A piece we treasure

This artwork was gifted to pixyit by one of our young artists, and it reminds us why we started.

pixyit is more than a store. It is a place where children’s creativity is valued, families feel connected, and young artists can see their ideas make a real difference.
