the porcupine hugs story ............................................................................................................... Porcupine Hugs is a New York City-based stationery company founded in 2012 by writer/creative ninja Dorkys Ramos. After a childhood of drawing cartoony faces and flowers all along the margins of her notebooks, she started creating cards, paper gifts, even hand-drawn gift wrap to celebrate her family and friends. With the launch of Porcupine Hugs, she’s fulfilling a dream of sharing her hand-illustrated designs with those who enjoy stationery, snail mail, and handwritten notes as much as she does. Our design themes cater to every day hellos, milestone celebrations and all the friendly greetings in between. And because Dorkys is Dominican, she’s released a line of Spanish cards called Cartitas that are fresh and so cute. “But who would want hugs from a porcupine?” you might ask. “That sounds painful!” Our company’s name comes from Dorkys’ own feisty personality. She’s fun, quirky and petite with a sarcastic bite! Besides, porcupines need love, too, no? Simple but sweet, Porcupine Hugs lets you handle all your affections with care. We’re so happy to meet you!

............................................................................................................... AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED with breast cancer in 2012, Dorkys turned to writing and art to help with her emotional healing. during those first months of tests and treatment, she realized she couldn’t relate with the symbol for her disease, the pink ribbon. it looked too pretty for how she was feeling inside. so she created her own pink ribbon, one that encompassed the happy hopeful moments as well as the terror that could suddenly set in. it’s helped her to know that she can be a bad-ass warrior one minute and admit that she’s really scared the next. she hopes that other fighters know the same.
......................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................... twenty percent of proceeds from our pink ribbon card will be donated to the Young Survival Coalition, an organization that empowers, advocates for, and supports women ages 40 and under who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. ♥ 12
