about
Love Letter is a sensory experience studio founded by Sutian Dong and Michele Yue on Valentine's Day, 2024. Born in New York City, we create immersive, introspective environments that invite people to slow down, pay attention, and connect more deeply with themselves and the world around them.Our work moves across writing, photography, scent, sound, ritual, and object-making, exploring how different sensory languages can hold memory, emotion, and meaning.Our signature offering in NYC, the aura experience, invites guests to see their energy rendered in color, then make meaning of it through guided reflection. Every element, from the prompts and pamphlets to the photography equipment itself, is designed in-house to foster moments of introspection, connection, and personal meaning.Beyond the aura experience, Love Letter hosts creative workshops and develops participatory rituals. As the studio continues to evolve, we remain interested in the same question: how can the things we make help people notice, feel, remember, and connect?
Founded by Sutian Dong and Michele Yue on Valentine's Day 2024, Love Letter NYC opened at 138 Eldridge Street in 2025.
