“I wanted my children to grow up knowing there is space for them.” - Sylvia Prince
This week on Creatives Like Us, Ange speaks with Sylvia Prince, designer and founder of Sylvia Prince Designs. Sylvia shares her journey from graphic design to launching her own range of Afrocentric cards, created to reflect and celebrate black and brown children, particularly those who are often underrepresented, including children with vitiligo and albinism. She opens up about overcoming perfectionism, the importance of visibility, and the encouragement that helped her finally start her business.
They also discuss the wider impact of Sylvia’s work, including her collaboration with the Vitiligo Society UK to develop school resource packs that support understanding and inclusion. Sylvia reflects on the value of creating work representing real people and experiences and how that representation can make children feel seen and celebrated.
