With my nursing career re-established and our family settled in Whangārei, I found myself drawn to another dream — one that had been quietly growing inside me for years.
I wanted to create something of my own — a brand that reflected my creativity, warmth, and love for beautiful, practical things.
That’s how HeySewCute was born.
What began as a small creative outlet soon grew into a brand I poured my heart into.
Each piece I made or curated carried a part of my journey — a reflection of the resilience and quiet joy that had brought us this far.
As our roots in New Zealand deepened, we faced another big decision: citizenship.
For a long time, we hesitated, not wanting to let go of our Korean nationality.
Our family and memories were still there — they were part of who we were.
But over time, New Zealand became more than just where we lived. It became home.
A few years ago, we took that step and became citizens — embracing this beautiful country that gave us a second chance at life.
HeySewCute is not just a brand; it’s a celebration of that journey —
a blend of my heritage and the new life we’ve built here.
Thank you for being part of this story,
and for supporting a dream that started on the other side of the world —
and found its home here in New Zealand. 🇳🇿💛
