About the Author

Barry Lee (they/them) is an illustrator, muralist & storyteller based in Atlanta, GA. Barry is a creative problem solver who tells meaningful stories using a cast of colorful characters and always a dash of mindfulness and intention. Growing up with a rare syndrome called Nager's Syndrome, they spent their time drawing constantly as a distraction from endless doctor's appointments and surgeries. Barry turned that distraction as a child into a career as an adult, learning that "distraction" was a form of healing through creating art. Barry's process is rooted in making sure that the work they put out is intentional, whether it's doing extensive research for client projects or looking within their own intuition to create illustrations that resonate heavily with others' experiences.

EM & FRIENDS makes cards and products for the relationships people really have and the lives we really lead: relationships and lives that are messy and beautiful, tricky and wonderful, and a whole bunch of everything else in between. We want people to feel truly seen, heard, and connected to the people they love—including themselves!—in good times, crazy times, and really freaking hard times. (Especially those times.)
