Our Story

Hi, I’m Si. I’m a painter, graphic designer, and art therapy researcher who loves the process of art making and all its benefits for relaxation and stress reduction. I live in West Sydney, Australia, and I’m a dad of 4 kids (2 boys and 2 bunnies ).

I founded Colordemy to promote DIY painting kits as an inspirational tool for learning, emotional balance, and mindfulness connection. Colordemy continuously develops products to make them more inspirational, with better experiences — truly fun and engaging for everyone, from kids to adults.

Unlike most DIY painting kits on the market that claim benefits like relaxation and mindfulness, Our products are backed by research in art therapy, especially in Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy which was advised and guided by art therapists. (*)

I’m so proud that Colordemy has gained some popularity and has been accepted by painters who love paint by numbers.

All of the designs you find on the website are created by me and by artists who share the same values as Colordemy. Recently, I’ve used a bit of AI to help come up with more ideas (though I’m still not a big fan because it can be boring, repetitive, and less original). 

Last but not least, our paint kits are proudly made in Australia. No joke — it’s been a big challenge to make that happen! The paints are hand-mixed, the canvases are locally printed, and even the software and packaging are developed here. I love being hands-on with every part of the process to make sure each kit delivers the best possible result.

I love providing a more unique painting experience for everyone, so if you’d like a custom or unique design for your painting time, just let me know your preference and I’ll give you the details.

Happy painting!

(*) The products themselves don’t replace art therapy — they’re simply a tool to help you get started and have some pure fun. They can’t substitute for a real art therapy session. If it's just for mindfulness can be as simple as picking up a pen and starting — you don’t need to spend a single penny to experience it.
