Whether you're receiving a card on your birthday or during the holidays, the goal for Sophie Parker is to make you smile. Parker's leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling on the inside.
Parker is a freelance illustrator and designer from London. She likes to focus on the softer side of things with "animals, friendship and contemplation" in her artwork, but also draws on playful and whimsical elements. My favorite piece from her is the 'Best Friends Postcard' showing five girls braiding each others hair. The postcard is sweetly simple and will instantly remind you of the last time you did this with your girlfriends at a sleepover.
Check out Sophie Parker's Etsy to see what wonderful ways there are to show you care.
