Thanks for stopping by! I'm Jesse, a computer science student, driver, and digital artist based in Delaware. Yaruki is a product of my love for Japanese culture, automotives, and anime. When I started this project in September of 2020, I was simply going through the motions, honestly unsure of what I wanted to do in life. Through all of this, what inspired me and I continued to return to was anime. The shows I'm most attached to are so memorable because they've had a lasting impact on me as a person. I created Yaruki to share this sentiment with others and and express myself through the medium I love.

The word yaruki is Japanese for "motivation", or "the will to do something." The brand and motto were inspired by my own personal desire to make the most of the limited time I have to spend. I would often find that I was so focused on my future, I couldn't find the motivation to do anything meaningful in the present. While it may just be designing some cute anime girls, it makes me happy to take a break from the daily grind and do something I enjoy.

Monotony is overrated.

How do sticker drops work?

I'll usually drop stickers in themed waves of 5. All stickers are ordered beforehand in a limited quantity and will be in-stock when the store goes live. I prefer this system to pre-orders, but production/shipping delays are inevitable because production is not done in-house. Once the drop goes live, all stickers will be sent out the day after they are ordered.

How long does shipping take?

The USPS usually has tracked orders out within 5-7 days after notification of shipment, with stamped orders taking a few extra days. If your order is undelivered after two or more weeks, feel free to contact me so we can sort out your package. Stamped orders don't come with insurance, but I'll do whaetever I can to help. Any possible USPS delays or updates will go up on Instagram.

Where do you ship?

I currently have international shipping set up worldwide. Stamp orders are not insured for international shipping, so keep that in mind when placing an order.
