After imagining, designing, and printing my own wedding invitations, I found myself wanting to do more. The satisfaction of creating something by hand for such a wonderful occasion sparked my interest in making custom stationery for others. I’ve always been a believer in seeing and creating beautiful things, even if we don’t need to. However, this quote from the book “What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory” by Brian Eno and Bette Adriaanse sums up my views on creating: “Art is a way of making feelings happen.” I hope to help make feelings happen through the simple exchange of paper, whether that's an invitation to a wedding, a business card, a birthday card, a letter, or beyond.
