At I Am More, we are thrilled to carry People I've Loved, a heartfelt brand that goes beyond traditional stationery and gifts. Founded in 2011 by Carissa Potter, an artist and illustrator with an extraordinary ability to capture the complexities of human emotion, People I've Loved creates cards, prints, objects, and books designed to facilitate authentic connections and honest conversations.
A Brand That Embraces Human Emotion
People I've Loved is not just about products—it's about feelings, nostalgia, and hope for the future. Carissa Potter's vision was to create art that celebrates the full range of human emotions, from joy to heartache, and everything in between. Each piece is crafted to spark meaningful dialogue and bring people closer together, no matter the distance or circumstance.
From Artist to Storyteller
Based in Oakland, California, Carissa has published three thoughtful books: I Like You, I Love You, It's Okay to Feel Things Deeply, and How to Heal From Heartbreak (Or At Least Feel Less Broken). Her work resonates deeply with those who seek authenticity and connection, reflecting a miraculous yet tragic definition of existence in today’s world.
Collaborations and Community
Over the years, People I've Loved has collaborated with a diverse range of partners, including Facebook, Google, Anthropologie, Madewell, The Wall Street Journal, The Body Shop, and prestigious art institutions like SFMOMA, ICA Boston, and The Hammer Museum. These collaborations reflect the brand's commitment to community, storytelling, and creative authenticity.
A Collective of Creative Souls
Today, People I've Loved is powered by a passionate team, including Amberly Largusa, Vera Kachouh, Malaya Tuyay, and of course, Carissa Potter. Together, they brainstorm, collaborate, and create with the belief that more brains are better than one. This collective approach brings a unique, heartfelt touch to every product they design.
