Hi,
We’re This Is Mi, a small family run business based in London.
We love to create artwork with minimal and bold bright colour palettes! More importantly, illustrations that feature people who are sadly underrepresented…. with our art we hope to inspire and uplift.
Just like many families it is sometimes a real struggle to find representation in the mainstream. This is why This Is Mi was created. We want to see contemporary cards + prints that reflect our kids, family and friends, going about their everyday lives.
‘This Is Me’ became ‘This Is Mi’, a little nod to our Caribbean heritage!
Our cards and prints are for all to enjoy, so we hope you see something you like.
Cards that represent you, your family and friends
I want to diversify the greeting card and paper goods industry by showcasing black and mixed race people in all of their glory.
I am Candice Chenade, the founder and illustrator behind By Candice Chenade.
I started my brand because I struggled to find cards and art prints that really represented me and the people around me. I felt that styles on the market were either dated, overly woke or not a true representation of our community today. I want to diversify the greeting card and paper goods industry by showcasing black and mixed race people in all of their glory. We celebrate Black Excellence often, but we still deserve to be celebrated for the regular things that we do. My mission is to uplift people and make sure people who look like me are represented. Because representation matters.
I Launched my first collection in May 2021 just in time for father’s day, after I was inspired by my amazing dad and watching the beautiful relationship blossom between my daughter and her dad. The collection was well received and requests for new designs were coming in fast. So I started creating and putting my designs out there, expanded my product range and By Candice Chenade was born. My illustrations are made black and mixed race people in mind.
At YOUnited Cards representation matters. We create multiracial, diverse and inclusive greeting cards for all the people you love. Our range of occasions and inclusive designs grows continuously so keep an eye out on our social media platforms. We also do personalisations and bespoke designs

“Growing up in my household I had a lot of historic figures framed in my living room: Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey, Paul Bogle, the list goes on. It was important to know these leaders who have come before me and have made an impact in the world. My art is inspired by my environment.
“I created an illustrative series of people I grew up learning about from books, documentaries, and family members. I recreated the figures I grow up on and created a modern, abstract version in my own signature style, which is heavily influenced by the pop art movement.”
