April is sitting cross-legged in her pink office chair, wearing a pink outfit. Her tank top says "This Barbie owns a stationery shop" and she is smiling. She has purple hair and felted ice cream cone earrings. Behind her is a colorful desktop

Hi There!

I'm April, a vibrant Afro-Latina illustrator with a passion for creating delightfully punny stationery. ¡Hola, soy Dominicana y diseño en Español también!

My world revolves around my love for all things cute, colorful, and the joy of (trying to) staying organized. Enter Apridot Studios, my creative haven where I pour my heart into art and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Wondering about the name? It's actually a portmanteau of my name and my birthstone, Peridot. I have my grandma to thank for introducing me to the magic of birthstones, a fascination that grew alongside my love for the enchanting character of Peridot – Steven Universe fans, unite!

For me, sharing my art isn't just about pretty designs; it's a mission to spread happiness and empower those navigating their identity and disabilities. We all deserve our space in this world, filled with a little extra magic. Some of my stickers and pins are more than just accessories; they're charity-driven, with proceeds going to organizations close to my heart. I've proudly supported Entre Hermanos, The Trevor Project, AAPI Women Lead, Black Girls Smile, The Northwest Abortion Access Fund, Pious Projects, and the Contigo Fund.

Thank you for stopping by my corner of creativity! Let's be friends – you can subscribe to my newsletters for exclusive deals and sneak peeks. And if you're eager to visit some in-person shops where my creations reside, check out the list of stores carrying my items! Your support means the world to me.
