Illustrated and hand-lettered in watercolor by Seattle artist Brigida Swanson. 

The story behind this card: I used to be a middle school teacher, and I really wanted to design a card to honor my students who would be brave and share a part of their identity with me and other classmates or teachers. I particularly wanted to create a card in honor of my students who came out as trans during my teaching years.

I had the imagery down, I knew I wanted it to be these butterflies flying against a dark background, but I wrote and rewrote the message of this card, trying to simplify everything I wanted them to hear. In the end, it really all boiled down to this statement, that I’m proud of who you are. And no matter who we are, I think that’s a message that a lot of us need to hear, for whatever parts of our identity that makes us, US.
