I’m just a girl who went looking for the perfect Mahjong tile set… and couldn’t find it.

After a trip to Paris, I came home inspired by the color, charm, and everyday beauty of the city and immediately started searching for a Paris themed Mahjong set that captured that feeling. When I realized it didn’t exist, I did what any reasonable person would do: I started plotting it out with friends.

There were sketches, ideas, way too many text messages, and lots of “what if we tried this?” conversations. Slowly, those ideas turned into thoughtfully designed tiles filled with playful details and modern charm. Each piece is meant to spark joy and a little sense of wonder at the table.

At its heart, Mahjong is about gathering—friends around a table, laughter between turns, and traditions shared. My goal is to honor that tradition while giving it a fresh, beautiful twist that feels personal, fun, and made to be played again and again.

Welcome to Lemondrop!

Founders Note

This wouldn’t exist without the friends who listened, talked through half baked ideas, and helped me plot it all out—especially J and T, thank you for the ideas, encouragement, and endless support.

I hope these pieces bring something special to your table and make game night feel a little more joyful, a little more colorful, and a lot more fun.
