Hi! My name is Janine Kwoh. I'm the owner / designer behind Kwohtations, an ever-evolving collection of greeting cards and gifts that reflect and celebrate a diversity of identities and life experiences. I am also the author of Welcome to the Grief Club, an illustrated book on grief for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one. I started making cards in 2011 as a way to reflect on and honor the lives we actually lead, versus the ones we think we should. Kwohtations is essentially my life in greeting cards, in which I offer up my own truths about navigating love and loss, (re)defining family and success, and figuring out what it means to show up for myself and others. My goal is to create products that encourage us to embrace the diversity, complexity, and kinship in our lived experiences. My hope is always that others will recognize some of themselves in what I create and feel a bit more seen, more connected, and less alone.
