Social media can often feel like a dark and lonely place, so it’s always refreshing to discover new pages helping you find your place under the sun. People I’ve Loved perfectly fits this description, and their uplifting illustrations aim to help you feel less alone.
People I’ve Loved is a visual brand and printing workshop based in Oakland, California, founded by Carissa Potter. After years of working for Colpa Press, Potter decided to embark on her own journey and spent the next decade sharing her illustrations with the world and rounding out a team of wonderful collaborators that made People I’ve Loved what it is today.
According to the brand’s official website, their illustrations are “meant to facilitate connection between people and help them have authentic, sometimes difficult conversations” while embracing the whole range of human emotion.
People I’ve Loved’s illustrations make room for joy and heartbreak, laughter and tears, and they’ll inspire you to embark on a search for the meaning of what it means to exist in this time and space.
In addition to having an impressive following on Instagram of over 900,000 people, People I’ve Loved is also spreading their message through their hand-printed and assembled objects, ranging from prints, greeting cards, journals, notebooks, and more.
