My story

The Coder, The Pets & The Fridge.

I didn't start this business to build a startup. I started it because I ran out of space on my fridge.

Hi, I'm a solo developer, a full-time pet parent, and a confessed "Magnet Addict."

If you walked into my kitchen yesterday, you wouldn't see a fridge door. You’d see a wall of magnets. I’ve collected them from every city I’ve visited. But looking at my collection, I realized the most important thing was missing.

I had souvenirs from Paris and Tokyo, but I didn't have a single piece of art celebrating the two roommates who actually run my life: Nunu and Peanut. I wanted to put them on the fridge. But I didn't want a cheap, flimsy photo print. I wanted something that felt as precious as they are.

Meet the Board of Directors

Every product we make is tested (and judged) by the real bosses of PawPortraits.


Nunu
Chief Happiness Officer

Breed: Samoyed (The Smiling Angel)

Job: Smiling while I write code and leaving white fur on every prototype.

Favorite Style: The 3D Cartoon (Matches his goofy vibe).


Peanut
Quality Control Manager

Breed: Golden Shaded BSH

Job: Judging my design choices silently and knocking tiles off the table to test durability.

Favorite Style: The Royal Oil Painting (He knows he's the King).

When Code Meets Craft

"I tried to solve this logically. I wrote code to capture their souls, and I sourced museum-grade acrylic to capture the light."

Being a developer, I spent nights writing code, tweaking AI algorithms to ensure the art captures not just their faces, but their personalities. But code stays on the screen. To bring it to life, I became obsessed with materials.

I tested dozens of acrylics until I found the "Museum Grade"—a 5mm thick block that captures light like a jewel. It had to be heavy enough to feel premium, but light enough for the magnet to hold forever.

From My Studio to Your Home

PawPortraits isn't a faceless corporation. It's just me, my code, Nunu, and Peanut.

When you place an order, I’m the one who runs the generation, peels the protective film, and packs your tile. I treat every order as if I’m making it for my own fridge.

Thank you for supporting a solo developer's dream. You are helping me buy more treats for the Board of Directors. 🦴🐟
