the heart behind pixels and threadz

Hello, I’m ChiiNa’ Milan, the hands, imagination, and heart behind Pixels and Threadz. I’m an autism mom, creator, crochet artist, and small business owner. I’ve been crocheting since I was 11, which means yarn has been part of my story for twenty-four years. The digital side began as a hobby, but it grew into something I truly love and a business where all my creative passions meet. As an advocate for other autism parents, I built this company while pouring into my 7 year-old son, balancing everyday life with big dreams for us both. The PIXELS are my digital creations, but the THREADZ are where my love for crochet comes alive—hats, ruffle socks, beanies, slouchy beanies, and cozy blankets. On the pixels side, I design learning binders, busy books, journals, printables, party favors, and even creative generators, both as digital downloads and finished physical products. I also build websites and teach how to use Canva, ChatGPT, and other AI tools so others can create too.

 

Representation matters to me, so you’ll see little melanated boys and girls in my learning designs alongside many other stories and faces. Pixels and Threadz is where I share what I love, what I’ve learned, and what I’m still inspired to create. Whether you’re browsing for a cozy crochet piece, a learning binder, or party favors—digital or physical—for your next celebration, I’m excited to make something for you. Thank you for being part of our journey and supporting the dream I’m building for my son and me.
