Hi, I’m Irene, aka Zima — the maker behind “ainona”.

Ainona grew from a love of creating tiny worlds and wearable art from polymer clay. I’ve always been drawn to small details, unique textures, and one-of-a-kind pieces that feel like they have their own personality and story. Every miniature and jewellery piece is shaped by hand, which means no two are ever quite the same.

After my journey with Body Bonbon, Ainona became a space to slow down, experiment, and focus on playful, thoughtful craftsmanship. Most days you’ll find me at my desk surrounded by clay, tools, and half-finished ideas, with my cats acting as full-time studio supervisors, quality control inspectors, and occasional chaos assistants.

Ainona is about individuality, creativity, and finding joy in small, handmade things that are a little bit special.

Thanks for being part of the journey and supporting a small Australian creator.
