She began selling jewelry and small decor while creating small sets for animation as a hobby. But, after posting her mini furniture, plants, and other interior details on Instagram, she quickly attracted a community of followers.
Since then, Wei has worked with clients including Madewell, Pottery Barn Kids, Walmart, and Hunker. She has also been featured by Chatelaine Magazine, CBC Arts, and Buzzfeed’s Nifty.
