Tobio is Mel's cat, and the little spirit behind our name! Mel is the founder of Tobio's, and Tobio has been her loyal companion through late-night creative sessions and quiet moments of reflection.
Why is the brand named after a cat?
Playful, curious and full of life, Tobio reminded Mel of the joy and freedom creativity should bring. He became our muse and our symbol of exploring without fear. That's exactly the feeling we hope you have when you open your kit: no pressure, just fun.
What does Tobio stand for?
Tobio reflects what we believe in:
- Curiosity. Trying something new just to see what happens.
- Play. Hobbies are meant to be fun, not stressful.
- Courage. You don't need to be a pro to start. Every brushstroke is part of the journey.
Can I share my pets with you too?
Yes, please! We love seeing what you create, hearing your stories and even meeting your pets. Follow us on social and tag us in your creations.
