About See Your Joy PDX

Monster Buddy Greeting Cards reflect how the artist wishes to see in the world. Whimsical hand-painted monster buddies pair with sincere hand-drawn messages for a uniquely cute and earnest vibe. A former documentary family photographer, Serra watched for decades as joyful moments went unnoticed by their main characters. As she talked with parents, who universally expressed overwhelm and isolation, her mission shifted from making pretty pictures to capturing those moments of joy in order to remind families of the love that is present in every interaction. She believes without a doubt that communication is key to connection, and connection is key to joy. Whether it’s a new friendship of a long-time partnership, people thrive when they know they are valued. And what better way to make sure they know than telling them outright? Which is why Monster Buddies evolved, to help us express those everyday feelings in an impactful way. Derived from original art, Monster Buddy Cards are individually printed, cut, and packaged by hand. It's a feel-good brand with big dreams for love in the world. The artist donates 100% of profits from this line to The Trevor Project, Brown Hope, and Earth Justice.Read their story
