Emily McDowell is a designer, illustrator, and writer. As the owner of Emily McDowell Studio, she makes鈥済ifty鈥� things like tote bags and postcard sets.

Most recently, she launched a collection of empathic greeting cards for people living with illness. She designed them to be more honest and appropriate for people living with cancer than typical 鈥淕et well soon鈥� cards.

鈥淎 card resonates in a way that email and text can鈥檛,鈥� explained McDowell . 鈥淚t鈥檚 a personal, simple, tangible way to be present for someone struggling with illness.鈥�

She designed the card collection to help friends and family find the right words to send to sick loved ones. And, as a cancer survivor herself, McDowell hopes the frankness of the empathy cards will offer people struggling with illness some much-needed understanding, honestly, and even humor.
