Our story · 我们的故事 我們的故事

Heritage shouldn't feel like homework.

We bring Chinese folklore, fables, and culture to life through audio stories designed for children growing up between two worlds. It should feel like an adventure worth sharing.

About us

嘿!嘿!Hi!  We're Catherine & Lanssie

Two Asian American moms (with Chinese and Taiwanese roots) asking the same question: how do we raise kids who feel at home in their heritage and their American life? Round Door Studio is our answer. Stories for every family that wants their kids to grow up knowing the myths, the culture, and the language that makes them who they are.

Why a round door?

The round door in our logo is inspired by the moon gates found in classical Chinese gardens. But to us, it's also a portal—a doorway into stories, adventures, language, and culture. Every time a child presses play, we hope they're stepping through that door into a new world.
