card | august | affirmations

When my children were little, I saw very few cards that I felt reflected them. Black and brown children were rarely depicted; my daughter was never really keen on being a princess, and my son wasn’t particularly interested in football.

I often found myself resorting to buying cards that featured illustrated animals or cartoon characters they liked, to avoid buying cards portraying children who did not look like them or represent their interests.

So, I decided to do something about it.

Drawing on my background in Graphic Design, being able to illustrate and inspired by my children and their friends, I decided to create the kinds of cards I wanted to see.

My aim is for our children to see themselves celebrated. Just as they are!
