Our Story

Our Story | Luminipet

01 — Where It All Began

What started as a random travel encounter slowly turned into a shared lifelong passion.

Luminipet was founded in 2023 by two pet-loving artist girls — Stella based in Hong Kong and Lila based in New York.

Both grew up with a deep soft spot for animals. They are artists, and lifelong animal rescuers. Each adopted one rescue cat and one rescue dog.

They crossed paths purely by chance during solo travel. What began as a casual conversation quickly grew into an instant bond: the same love for art, the same tenderness toward homeless animals, and the shared belief that pets are cherished family members.

Separated by oceans and opposite time zones, distance never slowed their connection. Late-night sketch reviews, early morning talks about rescue stories, endless creative brainstorming — their friendship only deepened.

That is how Luminipet came to life.

02 — A Studio Built on Love

Since 2023, more like-minded artists from diverse cultural backgrounds have joined the studio.

Our little community also warmly welcomes stray fur babies, who now live peacefully within our space. All of them share the same quiet wish: to support rescue animals around the world.

The name Luminipet comes from lumin, meaning light. It stands for lighting the way for fur babies, helping them find homes.

For us, Luminipet is more than a studio. It is a small community brought together by art, animals, and a shared belief that every pet deserves to be loved.

03 — More Than a Portrait

Our cross-border studio creates custom handcrafted pet portraits. Every artist here is a fellow animal lover.

They understand pets deeply — their subtle expressions, quiet moods and unique spirits. Each brushstroke captures not just appearance, but the soul of your fur baby, preserving the quiet bond you share.

Our 2D hand-painted portraits and 3D hand-sculpted portraits come with a making-of video, giving you a personal glimpse into how your pet's artwork comes to life.

It is our tender way of sharing the creative journey behind these handcrafted portraits.

This is Luminipet.
