About Us

Hello Bonjour!  I'm so glad you came to visit my little store.

I'm Stephie B, the creator of Maple & Mayhem.  I am in the process of navigating significant personal health challenges, and I was inspired to create this shop to rediscover my creative joy and passion for design. When I have moments where I am well enough to spend a little time to create, I try to add designs and ideas while I continue healing. 

At Maple & Mayhem, every design and creation springs from a genuine love for Canada, unique custom items, my beloved pets, and the healing power of creativity. 

I design everything using a combination of self-sourced and/or ethically sourced photos and self-created designs on Canva. Since this is a one-woman shop at the moment, sometimes I use AI to efficiently produce designs and website copywriting. FYI, using AI is not as "automatic" as you think—it still requires significant tweaks and personal touches to ensure quality. 

I have committed to using only Canadian print-on-demand companies. Because everything is custom-made by Canadian companies, it may take a bit longer to deliver, so please be patient and order in advance. I personally looked into the faster services, and unfortunately, they are all U.S.-based, which does not align with the ethos of this business at the moment.

Thanks for supporting Canadian and Elbows Up!
