Hello. Christi here. I’m often asked why I started Written Hugs Designs. As I processed my own grief and mental health struggles, I found myself feeling more isolated and alone surrounded by only happy and cheerful expectations. Something felt flat, inauthentic, and disconnected from my reality when walking down the aisle of any greeting card section. One day, someone suggested to me that I make cards to fill this gap and something inside me clicked. I could do that. This mission is so true to my heart and my values and this is the most authentically me I’ve ever felt.

When my cards started resonating with people, I decided to expand our impact by donating cards to nonprofits serving people who need encouragement, support, and belonging. For every card purchased on our website, we donate a card. We’ve donated over 1900 cards to date to nonprofits serving people in various ways:

• People going through recent loss
• Kids entering foster care
• Make-A-Wish MN
• Chronically Ill
• Terminal Diagnosed with anticipatory loss
• NAMI MN
• Caregivers 

And more. I love that our customers partner with us to bless a stranger, expanding their impact of kindness in this world simply by choosing Written Hugs Designs.

Aside from the business, I have three lovely kiddos at home, and I’ve been married to my husband since 2010. They are my everything.
