After a career as a web developer, Jan Golden was inspired to start a stationery business that tackles ageism. Age-Friendly Vibes was born after she participated in a greeting card contest during the pandemic. She used her graphic design and tech skills, as well as her creativity, to create a line of age-friendly greeting cards. Instead of birthday cards with jokes about getting older or being old and frail, her cards celebrate age and make positive statements about age and birthdays. “The best part is seeing the reaction to the age-positive sentiments I put out there in the world,” says Golden. “Knowing that I may have a small part in celebrating, instead of dreading, a birthday is heart-warming.”

Instead of messages about how awful it is to get old, the Age Friendly Vibes new art prints are designed to dilute those messages with age-positivity.

The Pro-Age collection reinforces the idea that age is not a four-letter word, we are all aging gratefully, and most importantly we are part of a pro-age revolution. 

The Aging is Living collection focuses on the concept that we are refined by age and the simple, yet profound idea that aging is living. The prints make it easy and stylish to put age-positivity out there in this world!
