WeirdgeCatCo · Sahithi's Portfolio ✿

WeirdgeCatCo is an artist collective founded with two of my close friends, united in supporting & uplifting Palestine through meaningful, hand-made artwork. All proceeds from our sales go to direct & mutual aid to support people impacted in West Asia during the ongoing genocide. In the 2.5 years since our founding, we've successfully raised & donated over $4000; in 2026 alone, we’ve donated over $1000.

We are grateful to have been able to support these organizations: Lebanese Red Cross, PCRF, Anera Gaza, Anera Lebanon, and The Sameer Project. A huge thanks to PCRF UCLA, MSA UCLA, and Midnight Books LA for helping us get started, hosting our booths, & managing our donations.

In our early stages, we meticulously formatted, printed, hand-trimmed, and packaged all of our stickers and prints. In 2026, we turned to print and sticker manufacturers to keep up with demand, quality, and production efficiency. We are so incredibly grateful to our friends, family, and community for supporting us and to all those who showed up to our events and helped us make these contributions possible.
