About

The characters of Andi's People reflect the very heart of their creator, Anne Dargin Schroeder.

Andi's People are inspired by all Anne holds dear: music, the arts, sports and a love for the quaint coastal community she calls home with her husband and children. Today Anne is realizing her dream of spreading whimsey and cheer through the nationwide distribution of her original, hand-painted designs. Here is the story of how it all began:

My Story

Andi’s People were born during my sophomore year of high school, geometry class, to be exact. Their legs grew longer, their smiles, bigger, and their personality, more endearing.

When I moved to Hawaii after college, my boy with flip-flops and an aloha shirt adorned the front of a 'mahalo' note sent back home to family and friends in Boston.

Throughout a career in the hotel/travel industry, Andi’s People stayed, for the most part suppressed in the rear of my imagination, taken out for fleeting glimpses including a meeting with Nick Ashley of "Laura Ashley" in London.

Now I have three children and a husband. At a mom’s creative night at my daughter's preschool, Berrybrook, in 2000, I felt an uncontrollable urge to create … and an Andi's People girl holding a giant sunflower emerged. That was the beginning.

As a new 7th grade Reading teacher, I continue to be inspired daily by both my students and my own children (who bear an uncanny resemblance as they popped into being long after their Andi's People counterparts!)

Now in our 4th year, Andi's People continue to make me smile as they spread a blanket of warmth and simplicity nationwide.

Andi's People. 65 designs, note cards, stationery, greeting cards, a unique, limited edition birthday/anniversary calendar and artwork. Ageless in appeal. Designed to delight. They simply make you smile.

Send a smile and gift of whimsy with Andi's People.
