Art with Intention & Products with Purpose.
Because Representation Matters.
Hi, I'm Heather!
I was sick of sorting through hundreds of heteronormative cards trying to find a Valentine's Day card for my partner and being forced to settle for something generic... So, I decided to create my own for myself, and my community.
Passion project turned life-changing business, Little Rainbow Paper Co. was born out of the belief that everyone should be able to find representation and visibility in the products they purchase.
Today, I design greeting cards, pins, mugs, ornaments, notepads, and more to celebrate the queer and quirky! I believe in spreading love and acceptance, and celebrating the lives and relationships of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
LRPC exists to provide opportunities for members of the queer community to show love, affection, friendship and joy for each other, in ways that celebrate and recognize our unique identities and ways of being.
Our vision is to create a world where 2SLGBTQ+ identities and items are considered mainstream and can be found and purchased in every day big box stores, and that these products are designed for the 2SLGBTQ+ by the 2SLGBTQ+.
