People I've Loved

Nestled in the heart of Oakland, California, People I've Loved is a vibrant printmaking workshop dedicated to fostering genuine human connection. Founded in 2011 by Carissa Potter after her time at Colpa Press, the brand specializes in hand-printed and thoughtfully assembled stationery designed to spark authentic conversations. Each piece is crafted as a form of performance art, encouraging individuals to engage in the sometimes challenging dialogues that define their relationships.

With a commitment to bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds, People I've Loved embraces the full spectrum of human emotion—from nostalgia and buried longings to hopes for the future. Their products serve as catalysts for meaningful interactions, inviting people to share their experiences and feelings in a tangible way.

Over the years, a dedicated team has joined Carissa, believing that collaboration fuels creativity. Together, they explore pressing issues and personal interests, creating a supportive environment where authentic expression flourishes. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, People I've Loved reminds us to take a deep breath and trust that everything will turn out alright.
