Our philanthropic mission consists in visiting youth cancer centers and retirement shelters and centers anywhere in the world where we gift POYSE to long-term patients and socially isolated elderly people.

Meet the artisans
See how POYSE is created!
Ms. Ming is a master craftswomen who has dedicated most of her life to making bamboo dragonflies. With her entrepreneural outlook enjoys working with POYSE to help inspire others.
18 years ago, Ms. Ming was a farmer and to generate additional income for her family was also a souvenir seller at the temple of her little village of about one thousand farmer families in Northern Vietnam. One day she was approached by a bamboo dragonfly maker who asked her if she could sell them. From that day, Ms. Ming fell in love with them, so much in love that Ms. Ming decided to make her own. It took Ms. Ming six months of permanent work to finally make a good one and over the years mastered the making of bamboo dragonflies and now POYSE.
Ms. Ming always used the same traditional techniques that enabled her (and team) to hand make bamboo dragonflies that are the primary source of income for her family with three children.
Mr. Dinh is experienced in crafting bamboo and has developed excellent precision to give POYSE a perfect balance. Mr. Dinh has enjoyed working with new specifications to create a unique product for people to enjoy.
17 years ago, Mr. Dinh was doing craft bamboo work when he met with Ms. Ming and learned from her the skills to make bamboo dragonflies. On many occasions he thought about giving up because it was too hard, the love of his job is what kept him making them. Making bamboo dragonflies requires a lot of attention, skills and passion.
With Ms. Ming they invented and built their own tools to make bamboo dragonflies. Despite our deep knowledge and expertise in making bamboo dragonflies we had to invent new tools to make POYSE, says Mr. Dinh.
The making of a POYSE requires 15 steps excluding painting/visual customization that can take up to 5 steps with some of the current models. With expertise, it takes about 30 minutes (excluding painting) to make a POYSE.
Ms. Hai is committed to supporting her children and wants to give them the opportunity of better education. Ms. Hai enjoys painting POYSE's new intricate patterns and looks forward to further involvement learning a new design process.
