welcome to rainbao🌼

rainbao is a hong bao brand and online shop that celebrates everyone, no matter who or how (aromantics, we've got you in future launches) they love.  

here you'll find hong baos mostly geared towards weddings, some for lunar new year, and all designed for more joy than usual.  

we love inclusivity! if there isn't a design for you yet, here's what's planned for future launches: 

  • customisable hong bao options 
  • voting polls for designs-in-progress* 
  • monthly design requests*
  • commission slots

* voting and design requests will be open through our discord and instagram 🥳

so stick around, have a look, tell us what you'd like to see. looking forward to all of it! 
🤜💖🤛

 

also, hello!

i'm crystal, the person behind rainbao ♡ (•̀ᴗ•́ )و

i'm an illustrator and art tutor who messes around with writing and game design. i love learning and thinking about how people can be involved and empowered in the things they want to be, whether that's through knowledge, skills, or simply making things available for them.

any money i get from running rainbao will go towards making cool (and free) projects for people who need them. so far i've made:

  • articles on art, education, sociology and mental health
  • life-altering, a choose-your-own adventure game (contact me for access - cw SA)
  • a drawing-based board game i probably shouldn't mention since i'm unsure if it's fun enough to actually share

and am slowly working on a game about trauma recovery (it'll be so fun, i promise). all of these things have been sporadic and free to access, and with extra money i can make them less sporadic, still free, and higher quality. if you'd like to help fund these and other future projects, you can do so through my ko-fi.

if you'd like to stay updated or be involved, you can sign up to rainbao's newsletter below or to our instagram.

thank you for visiting! we're gonna have a great time. 🌟
