Sometimes I really can’t believe that creating meaningful paper goods for such special times in your life is my job, but it really is, and for that I am so thankful. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina with my high school sweetheart husband, Nick, and our two littles one, I love working with my clients to simplify the process on their end while creatively bringing their paper goods to life through classic designs with a modern touch. I truly believe this should be fun for you and I certainly believe that every single detail matters.
When I’m not designing stationery, it is very likely you’ll find me cozied up with a book for wine club (I mean, book club), looking for any excuse to go out for ice cream, planning a morning workout, and dreaming up my next home design project!
how it all began
_______________________________________________
Who knew that writing my friends’ names in cursive during class would one day lead me here? After my days as a student in Chapel Hill (go heels!) I lived the CPA life, but it didn’t take long before I was desiring more creativity - there is only so much you can do with a spreadsheet - and simplicity. After developing a strong interest in hand lettering and calligraphy, combined with my love of sending and receiving mail, I ventured into the world of stationery design and haven’t looked back!
So, Ivy and Linen Design Co. was born out of a love for stationery, pretty writing, and details. It is truly my mission that you feel special and loved during some of the most exciting times in your life because even the seemingly smallest things are always worth celebrating, and I can’t wait to make that happen for you!
Let’s get to know one another and create some beautiful stationery, shall we?
my favorite part
Dreaming up your custom lookbook and seeing your reaction as you start to understand what your suite can be is absolutely a highlight for me during the custom invitation process!
But most of all I love hearing your story - how you fell in love, what your wedding day is going to be like (I’m talking flowers, place settings, everything!). My clients become so much more like friends and that makes me smile so bright!
let’s work together
I offer fully custom wedding invitation suites and day-of paper goods items, as well as Collections Suites that offer you a custom look and feel, but at a lower investment point. Whichever route fits you and your wedding day best, I want to be right beside you along the way and help guide you through all of your paper goods needs!
let’s be friends
I’d love to connect with you on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or via email!
