Meet the Founders
Duseigneur and Jimmi have been connected by the Pacific Ocean since birth, long before they met. With Duseigneur hailing from American Samoa and Jimmi from San Diego, their love for the ocean serves as a constant reminder of their deep ties to their roots and to each other. Upon discovering a lack of Samoan board books when they learned they were expecting their first pepe, they set out to create them for their growing aiga.
What started as a passion project driven by a deep desire to have Samoan board books in their home has blossomed into a beautiful community of like-minded parents and caregivers who want the same for their tamaiti. From our aiga to yours, fa'afetai tele lava.

Born in Upolu, Samoa, grown in Hawaii, Saipan and New Zealand, I'm a wordsmith, designer and developer currently in a long-term hyperfixation with the Samoan language and culture.
And sometimes I make art.
