Makes You; You
Making Us

At Making Us we are captivated by the question: What makes you; you?
We believe we’re shaped by our memories, our relationships, and the quiet moments in between. Our mission is to create tools that invite reflection on who we are, how we got here, and who truly matters. Through meaningful connection, emotional storytelling, and self-discovery, we help people pause and reconnect with themselves and others.
Our First Tool for Connection
Just Because Postcards
Just Because Cards and Postcards are a simple way to say, “I see you, and I’m thinking of you”. These postcards are about pausing, reaching out, and reminding someone they matter. Each postcard is meant to be sent just because. No special occasion needed. No perfect words required.
Whether you're wondering how to feel more connected or just looking for the right words to say “I miss you” this is your space to begin again. These cards carry simple moments of care, reflection, and kindness.
The point of these cards is to encourage everyday connection.



Send Something Real
Feel More Connected. To Yourself and the People Who Matter.
Small vessels of connection, sent simply because someone matters. Thoughtfully designed and deeply intentional, each card is a quiet reminder that connection doesn’t need a reason.
Making Us Collections
To help you find the image that speaks to you, we’ve grouped our photos into four collections. Each one capturing a different kind of beauty and meaning. Whether it’s the quiet details, the pull of distant places, the wonder of nature, or something that simply makes you pause, each category reflects a unique lens.

A brief introduction to our Making Us Blog. Who we are, why we exist, and what matters most to us. This post shares the heart behind our mission and invites you into the story we’re telling together.
Sometimes the best journeys are the ones that go against the grain. As high school seniors, we chose adventure over routine and took a trip to Taiwan that changed everything. This blog explores the joys, growth, and unexpected connections that come from stepping outside the norm, and why it’s never too late to chart your own path.
These are Just Because postcards. No occasion needed, no special reason required. They're a simple gesture of connection, sent when you feel something that words alone can't express. Whether you're thinking of a friend, sending a quiet moment of joy to a loved one, or gifting yourself a reminder of beauty, these postcards are about sharing meaning in the most genuine way. Sometimes, the best connections happen when there's no reason at all… just because.
