Twinkie Chan is a San Francisco based crochet designer with an insatiable appetite for creating fun, food-themed accessories - and she also works behind the scenes here at Creativebug. She launched her website in 2005 with a dozen scarves and some tater tot dolls. Since then, her unique work has been featured online, in print, on television, and in art shows. The demand for her crochet patterns inspired her to write her first book, "Twinkie Chan's Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies: 20 Yummy Treats To Wear" in Fall 2010. Her highly anticipated second book, "Twinkie Chan's Crocheted Abode a la Mode," was published in Spring 2016. She also launched a licensed lifestyle brand, "Yummy You! by Twinkie Chan," to make her signature crochet pieces more accessible and more affordable. You can see her crocheted bakery installation "Sucre Fleuf!" at Sweet Tooth Hotel in Dallas, TX, which has been on view since 2020. (P.S. Thank you so much to Crown & Crumpet, Amiko Boutique, and PikaPika - all in San Francisco's Japan Center - for letting us film in your shops!)
