Meet Charlye. She is a Fragile X self-advocate who designs handmade stationery with a purpose.
“During the pandemic, I spent many, many days creating special drawings to brighten the days of those who needed some sunshine. I have decided to use some of these drawings to design handmade stationery.”
Charlye has an exciting new way to share her artwork with us. For Valentine’s Day this year, you can honor a loved one by sending a Valentine’s Day e-card with Charlye’s artwork!
