How did you get started in your industry?
I was an art student at CSU and planning my own wedding. During the summer, I began to take my first printmaking class, silkscreen, and I fell in LOVE with the medium. I loved learning about papers and printing methods. When I went to pick out invitations for my wedding I quickly discovered that the options were limited and highly over priced, so I had the idea that I could take this new paper affair to another level while creating creative, inexpensive invitations for brides like me, who want something creative, but affordable.
How many years have you been in business?
2.5 years
Tell us about your family:
Married five wonderful years to my husband, Shannon. Two years ago, the greatest thing to ever happened, the birth of our son Tanner. Tanner is too young to understand my business at this time but he does enjoy all the supplies and equipment that I used.
Do you have any certifications, awards, etc that you wish to share the details about?
Bachelors in Fine Arts, where I was technically trained in printmaking and graphic design.
What is it about your industry that holds your interest year after year?
I love that even though our lives have become so digital that we still are so traditional when it comes to invitations. Even though the style of the invitation has evolved, I enjoy that we are still turning to snail mail to invite guest to celebrate with us.
What do you love about your industry?
I love how invitations set the tone for your whole wedding. I think people often over look this detail, but your guests can tell a lot about your wedding just by that little piece of paper that they receive in the mail.
What sets you apart from others in the industry?
I truly strive to offer creative, beautiful, yet affordable invitations. I also love to build relationships with my brides and grooms and get a good understanding of your style and wedding. My clients are never just another customer.
What would you say is the latest trend in your industry?
Letterpress is definitely a big trend at the moment and I hope it stays. Even though I no longer own my letterpress, the art of letterpress is truly beautiful and sacred.
What is the most unusual request you have ever been asked to do by a client?
I get a lot of request for unusual invitations, but honestly I love those jobs the most. Something that really makes me think about how I am going to create that is why I love what I do.
Has working in the wedding business for a living changed the way you feel about or perceive weddings now?
Yes, I think I enjoy them more now. Being in the wedding industry, I like to keep update on all trends, not just invitations, and I really love when people put their own personality to in their wedding. Instead of trying to convey someone else's ideas.
