Our story

It all begins with an idea. Life after chemo, a cancer survivor, a new normal, but what was next? I started playing Mahjong with friends as a way to strengthen my brain. Shake off some of the chemo brain fog. Connect with people in person, in a meaningful way, and meet new friends. Then it became an obsession. Why did I love this game so much? I couldn’t stop thinking about it or when the next time I would play would be. It was a huge relief from constantly thinking about cancer or what was next on my journey toward healing. During radiation days I started sketching ideas. Maybe I want to launch a business. Maybe I want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe I have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it was, the pull was strong, the addiction was real and I had to create a Mahjong brand. Fun tiles, different themes, fitting of different moods, the best way to start conversation and Krazy for Mahj was born.

I’m Heather Kra, a 43 year old mom of 2 young boys, stage 3 breast cancer survivor with a background in footwear and fashion design and now bringing my passion for Mahjong to life.
