About Curly Girl
Curly Girl Design serves up cleverness daily in a variety of big hearted greeting cards, gifts, decor and accessories. Our designs embrace the magic of small moments and bring heartfelt, and encouraging messages that celebrate, soothe and inspire. Curly Girl is a small business (like four people small) and strives to be a force for positive change by inspiring us all to connect.
Our Philosophy
There is so much important stuff going on in the world currently, and we are grateful to be here (alive and running our small business) at the same time as all of you. Our goal at Curly Girl Design is to help find the words required to connect to one another and ourselves… so we might be a force for positive change in the world. We are inspired everyday by our employees, family, friends, customers, customers who became friends and friends that became family. We know we all need support and that we all have a bright light to shine and share with others. Our award-winning greetings cards and heartfelt gifts are just our way of inspiring human connection and kindness. So, thank you for being here, and buying things and sending cards.
Success is sometimes just having one more patch than you have holes in your inner tube
