While I'm honored to have been featured in publications like People Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, and Brides, and to partner with renowned names like bridal designer, Hayley Paige, and Dancing with the Stars', Derek and Hayley Erbert, what I treasure most is the privilege of illustrating love stories through custom watercolor art.
My journey from corporate marketing to founding Cotton & Bow wasn't just a career change—it was a calling to preserve the art of meaningful correspondence in an increasingly digital world. I don't believe in cookie-cutter invitations or mass-produced moments. Every brushstroke I paint tells a unique story, whether it's capturing the essence of a destination wedding venue or creating heirloom-worthy pieces that families will treasure for generations.
Through my licensing partnerships and my growing collection of designs, I've made original watercolor artwork accessible to couples at every level, while my custom work continues to set the standard for luxury wedding stationery. My mission is to help couples create their perfect first impression—one that has their guests audibly gasping when they open that envelope and talking about those beautiful details for years to come.
I approach every collaboration with the same attention to detail and design expertise I brought to Fortune 500 brands earlier in my career, because your love story deserves nothing less than extraordinary. Whether we're working together on a wedding, a feature story, or bringing our partnership vision to life, I'm here to ensure every detail reflects the caliber of artistry a Cotton & Bow couple expects.
Thank you for seeing the potential in partnering with Cotton & Bow. I'm excited to learn about your vision and explore how we can create something beautiful together.

Custom wedding stationery is highly personal and full service. Here's an overview of how the process works from start to finish. Everything we create together is unique to your wedding, matches your wedding theme, colors, and/or vibe, and often features original hand-painted artwork created by me.
Due to the bespoke nature of the service, I'm unable to give out pricing over email or directly on a call. You will receive a detailed proposal with multiple options a few days after your inquiry and discovery call. It is common to have questions or want to make adjustments after the proposal is shared so don't hesitate to reach out or schedule a second call after the proposal is sent.
We will be working together for many months leading up to your wedding so it's important to me that this feel like a truly collaborative process. You can weigh in on every round of the design process or simply trust my taste and design expertise and watch each stage come to life before your eyes. It's up to you how much time you'd like to invest in the process, but either way you can be assured that your result will be the highest quality wedding invitations available.
