“Adventure isn’t about knowing where the road leads—it’s about having the courage to take the first step. We’re here to create memories, share joy, and build a life where connection and authenticity are at the heart of everything we do”
After working in corporate America for over 18 years, we made the bold decision to pursue a passion rooted in connection, creativity, and authenticity. In 2019, we left behind the corporate world to launch Dumpling Dudez™, a company built around creating the most fun and unique experiences. They just so happen to be our favorite, as they remind us of the cherished memories and moments we’ve shared hosting dumpling-making parties with friends & family.
Our mission is simple: to bring people together through fun, hands-on, and creative experiences. Dumplings are the medium for connection, but the heart of what we do is about fostering joy, creativity, and community. We’re proud to have created the world’s first and only rainbow dumpling-making experiences. In addition, we’ve had the honor of teaching thousands of people and curating hundreds of corporate team-building events. Each session is more than just making dumplings; it’s about creating memories, sparking creativity, and building lasting connections.
Over the past five years, we’ve grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Entrepreneurship has taught us that business is not just about strategies or tactics—it’s about people. It’s about connecting with others, building relationships, and creating something meaningful together. Dumpling Dudez has allowed us to do just that.
As we prepare for our next chapter—a move to Portland, Oregon at the end of 2024—we are excited to expand our vision and take on new creative adventures. We’re evolving beyond dumplings to explore ventures like publishing a book, launching a podcast, offering mindfulness and yoga experiences, creating digital courses, and leading mastermind workshops.
Dumpling Dudez has given us the confidence to take this next leap, and we can’t wait to see what new adventures and possibilities lie ahead.
— Mike & Chih
