Who is borb?

I'm borb, full-time artist & corporate girlie ;u;

I've been making and selling products (mostly pins and apparel) since 2021. I committed to art back in April 2024, but life unfortunately pulled me back into the corporate world.

This campaign is to bring the crumb catcher companion: taiyaki pouch to life and share with other taiyaki enthusiasts!

If the campaign is successful, your delicious taiyaki pouch choice will be made after the campaign ends via the post-campaign survey. You will be able to choose from all of the unlocked flavors!


If you are interested in seeing more of my art and products, you can find me on:

Shipping

Shipping fees will be calculated and charged at the end of the project, based on current USPS rates. Please note that shipping costs are determined by weight.
Unfortunately, due to current international regulations, we are unable to ship to the European Union, the UK, or any regions experiencing political unrest or conflict.

Estimated Shipping Costs for 1 bag :
  • US Domestic: $6
  • Canada: $15
  • International (Everywhere else): $20

If your country is not listed as an available shipping destination, please don’t hesitate to reach out. While most regions (including the US, Canada, and Southeast Asia) are covered, there are a few exceptions where shipping has been problematic.
Thank you for your understanding and support!

Timeline

Here is the current timeline for this project! 

  • August 12th Project Launch
  • September 2nd Project End
  • Mid-September Send Survey
  • October-November Production
  • December QA check & ship rewards! 

If there are no delays in tariffs or other..... fun things in the world, I would love to have these delivered by Christmas. It's a little scary to commit to a holiday date, but I'll do my best!
