Alum wins 2024 Louie Award
Earlier this year, Brigida Swanson 02 PT, through her stationery and home goods company, Yardia, was selected as the inaugural Indigenous Maker of Note in the national Greeting Card Association's 2024 annual Louie Awards.
I was honored to be recognized within the greeting card industry, and thrilled to have my CHamoru heritage and culture now part of the industry in this small way.
Yardia is solely owned and operated by me, where I create watercolor-driven and nature-inspired cards and gifts that help folks to express their intersectional identities and love the place they live.
