Squishable is a close-knit team of designers, artists, pop-culture fanatics, and lovers of all things adorable.

With the millions-strong Squishable fan community cheering us on (and a lot of cupcakes, coffee, and karaoke) we make people say “awww.” Our offices are in a sunny loft in NYC's Flatiron District and in downtown Washington, DC.
