Paper Projects
I really love paper.
How to Make a Good First Impression
(according to Forbes.com)
I made this book right before I graduated from college. I was desperately seeking advice from any and all sources, including the internet, and including Forbes.com. Their advice for acing a job interview was “be interesting” – which is pretty unhelpful.
It turns out the internet is full of unhelpful advice.
October, October, October
October is my favorite month, and I like to send out cards to people I love to celebrate the month I love.
I carved a hand-lettered design into linocut to make these prints, and shared some of the process on instagram.
Wedding Signs
I have been honored to make signs or paper goods for several friends’ weddings—a selection of which are included below.
Hannah & Kevin’s Wedding
Hannah is my sister and my most important person. It meant a great deal that she asked me to make a bar sign and gift sign for her wedding. This was only about a year into me learning calligraphy and it was a real show of faith from sister to sister.
Dominique & Keith’s Wedding
I’ve known Dominique my entire life. It was amazing to be able to contribute to her wedding celebration with a collection of signs.
She thrifted the frames and put together a very detailed slideshow to indicate where each sign would go, the dimensions of the item(s) they’d be placed on, and other key details (incredible work, Dom.) The inspiration for the firework details came from a holiday card I had sent out a few years before, and from the fact that the wedding was happening over July 4th weekend.
