Welcome to Cuddle IQ, a brand where creativity, technology, and comfort come together. Founded by the dynamic mother-daughter duo, Clara and Aria Li, Cuddle IQ brings their shared love for storytelling, characters, and plushies to life.

Clara Li, a seasoned journalist and the founder of L&A Group and Millennium Technology, brings decades of expertise in creative development and innovation. Millennium Technology, a subsidiary of L&A Group, specializes in metaverse-related digital technologies, multimedia film production, artistic creations, and cultural tourism. With offices in Los Angeles, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and a global vision, Clara’s leadership in the digital and creative industries has laid the foundation for Cuddle IQ's storytelling-driven approach.

Aria Li, a filmmaker with a passion for visual storytelling, joins her mother in crafting imaginative worlds and heartfelt characters. With a B.F.A from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Aria specializes in screenwriting and VR filmmaking. Together, they channel their artistic backgrounds into creating plushies that are not just toys but comforting companions for daily life.

With headquarters in the tech hub of Shenzhen, Cuddle IQ is uniquely positioned to innovate in the field of AI plushie technology. By integrating advanced artificial intelligence into our plushies, we’re redefining the boundaries of comfort and interaction, creating companions that are as dynamic and engaging as the stories they tell.

At Cuddle IQ, we believe in the power of stories to connect and inspire. Our plushies are designed to spark imagination, bring joy, and offer comfort to people of all ages. Join us in creating a world where every hug tells a story.
