Yardia
Hi, I'm Brigida. I create Pacific Northwest-inspired cards and gifts for nature lovers. Yardia products help you to love the place you live.
Through Yardia, I create watercolor illustrations inspired by my experiences in nature, and translated to stationery, gifts and home decor. Community and connection can each start with a simple card, carefully selected artwork or lovingly wrapped gift, reaching out from one person to another and seeing the good and wonder in each other.
Coming from a multiracial and indigenous CHamoru perspective, creating art about nature and loving the place I live is more than business alone. It connects to the sacredness of the land that my ancestors protected and continue to fight for. Yardia's values are based in the spirit of inafa'maolek--to make good and strive for harmony. And I hope to share that spirit with you through my art.
I'm proud to have built Yardia into the full time, woman-of-color owned business it is today, and that I can support myself through my art. Every decision I make for my business is crafted with intention and love for the work and for folks like you.
You can also find Yardia products in over 100 stores in the US and Canada. Want to become a wholesale customer? Visit https://yardia.co/wholesale to receive access to the Yardia wholesale catalog, or find me at https://yardia.faire.com.

Yardia's Core Values:
Yardia is driven by five core values: nature, creativity, empathy, community and harmony. I believe that:
1. Nature is sacred, beautiful and filled with awe.
2. Creativity is magic, made by heart and hand.
3. There's empathy to be found through connection.
4. Community is built locally, one person at a time.
5. We live in harmony when we're in touch with the world around us.
