These aren’t just illustrations, they’re “characters with character.”
They wear your feelings on their sleeves, the ups, downs and everything in between.
Hello, my name is Phoebe
I'm the designer, founder and the heart behind Paper Characters.
What started out as small sketches in my notebook turned into characters that helped me understand who I was becoming at different stages of my life.
Now it’s a world of characters that hold space for every feeling, the joy, the doubt and everything in between.
I made this to give those sides a voice (and a face). I hope you find yourself in them too.
About the Characters
Each character comes from a feeling we all know. From self-doubt to joy, burnout to creative spark. They’re funny, honest and sometimes a little too real.
Because we’re not just one thing and neither are they.
Characters with Character.
Paper Characters celebrates who we are, messy, contradictory and real.
Collect them, wear them and maybe see yourself in them.
