After over a decade in marketing working with the top brands in the world, I decided to transition into running my own stationery business. For the past five years, I have brought the same level of professionalism and attention to detail that I gave my corporate clients to engaged couples.
I really enjoy capturing the personalities of the couple getting married and the spirit of the destination. I don't believe in creating just "pretty" stationery. Instead, I focus on creating meaningful works of art that can be used to bring a wedding to life for family and friends. I paint the first picture of what guests will expect from the wedding. And the original artwork is a keepsake that's cherished long after the cake is eaten and the flowers have wilted.

I love working closely with couples to create their dream custom save the dates, wedding invitations, and day of stationery. Below is a little bit more about what would make us a perfect pair when working 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.
