The Person Behind Tiny Werewolves

Tiny Werewolves is a one‑artist studio, Designed and based in Chicago - not the burbs - by Kayla Pekkala, specializing in Human‑Crafted stickers, pins, apparel, prints and other paper goods inspired by the queer community, Chicago culture, reproductive rights, and the creatures that haunt your favorite ponds.

Her collections include retro-inspired water-resistant stickers, mini buttons, cozy apparel, art prints, and more. Whether you’re here for Chicago jokes, queer pride, political clarity, frogs, cryptids, or soft mental‑health vibes, you’ll find something that feels like it was made just for you.

When not working on Tiny Werewolves, Kayla takes on various freelance projects and is part owner/director for an adult LGBTQ+ summer camp in Maine, which she also attends in August.

Past: Educational Toy & Game Designer: Kayla previously spent over 15 years in different design fields, mainly in children's toys and apparel.

In her free time, she's probably near coffee & food spending time with her wife and friends, obsessing over her 2 small scruffy dogs or off doing some new hobby.
