About

Hi, I’m Hang Nga — pronounced like Hannal — from Vietnam.

When I was about twelve, I began to understand the idea of death, and I realized that my little dog—and all the cherished memories we shared—would leave me someday. That thought frightened me deeply.

So I wrote her story. Even though she was a female dog, she was so playful and stubborn that in my imagination she became a mischievous little boy. These were silly, funny, anthropomorphic tales about the everyday moments we shared. As my notebook slowly filled up, the fear of death and loss inside me began to fade.

In 2015, when I started making toys and figurines purely for my own joy (under the name MeoMunDoll on Etsy), it was simply a dream-driven hobby.
But when people told me my work made them feel comforted, warm, and soothed, I was reminded of those childhood stories—the way imagination, humor, and creativity had helped ease my own pain. I began to realize that softness and playfulness could be a way to balance deeper inner reflections on loss, memory, and human connection.

So I began my journey to bring my artwork to the people I felt needed it most:
adults seeking a sense of playfulness in their lives,
people dealing with pet loss or the fear of losing a pet,
and pet owners who want to honor their furry friends.

Lady Meowlie was born from a desire to celebrate pets in a way that truly resonates with their owners.
It carries my love for character-building and storytelling, grounded in the real world through a commitment to skilled craftsmanship. Here, every handmade figurine captures not only the spirit of a pet, but also the love and creativity of the person who shares their story with me.

As I continue this journey, I hope Lady Meowlie becomes a home that nurtures craftsmanship and creative spirit—a place for creators who express themselves with passion and feel called to serve others through their art.
