ABOUT DEADLYBEARHUG

For the Fierce + Fluffy

Deadlybearhug is a cozy little haven for all things fluffy and fierce! We create quirky, feel-good merchandise, ranging from apparel and home décor to accessories, designed to make everyday life a bit cuter and comfier for you. Whether you’re an animal lover, a devoted pet parent, or hunting for the perfect gift, there’s always something here for you.

The brand began in 2020 after my sibling brought home a schnauzer puppy that reignited my artistic side. At the time, it was surprisingly hard to find casual, stylish pet merchandise, so what started with schnauzers quickly grew into designs featuring more dogs, cats, and eventually expanding to our own original character, Deadly.

We also love creating art and fanart inspired by whatever we’re obsessed with at the moment! A lot of the times, this is games, anime, and TV shows we adore. Over the years, that’s mostly been Valorant (shhh LOL).

Thanks for visiting our About Us page! It's wonderful to think we've reached you digitally and we hope you stick around to follow our journey! 

About the owner... hello world!

Ran by Erin, DBH is mainly based out of Vancouver Canada (and sometimes Bay Area, California!)

I’ve been passionate about art from a young age, particularly Asian character branding and packaging design, and it's always been my dream to run my own art business.

With experience across multiple disciplines of art, especially photography and graphic design, I developed the ideal foundation for building my own brand.

Outside of the business, I love being in nature, travelling, and being a foodie!

I also occasionally stream on Twitch, and am pretty active on the brand's Instagram!

We're always doing conventions and events, so maybe you'll find us at an event near you soon!
