I so vividly remember learning how to letterpress. the frustration of seemingly endless manual adjustments, followed by the proud satisfaction of pulling a perfect print. that first year, something went wrong every single session on the press, but I learned to love the process. there was no force quit or reset button, so I had to tinker my way to an even impression, perfect inking, and square registration.

now in year eight, printing is my flow state. time passes at an incomprehensible speed. the adjustments feel intuitive, the sound rhythmic, and I fall more in love with the results every time.

When Taylor and I first talked about this project, the design brief was "49ers, but make it elevated." I started with the football team's brand guidelines, to see where they drew their inspiration. Vintage maps, representing the early days of prospecting, shapes and frames that had a Western feel, and of course, gold and Montana Red would have to be included.

For the invitation, a linen-wrapped folio contained a 2-color letterpress and gold foil-printed card. An 1852 map of San Francisco with a song lyric that was meaningful to the couple printed on top juxtaposed old with new. Envelope calligraphy in gold ink by @milplumaslettering added that perfect luxurious touch.

A team of vendors came together to make something bigger than all of our parts, and I'm so glad I could be a part of it. More to come!

E+I had intentionality at the core of their wedding planning philosophy. They invited all their guests to stay in the same villa in the Tuscan countryside, which created a relaxed and communal environment. Events were curated to spark conversation and meaningful connection. We designed their invitations with that same approach - leading with thoughtfulness, a casual refinement, and details to remember.

for this wedding in the swiss alps, the use of leather and wood, gold hardware, and deep green tones helped the paper goods feel right at home while thoughtfully designed details, like a hand-painted cocktail sign named after the bride's artistic grandmother, a jasmine flower icon that alluded to the lace on the bride's dress, and letterpress printed patterns added touches that were unmistakably personal.

I rarely print in bright colors, so this palette felt fun and fresh and served as a welcome reminder that it’s good to be bold.

I came across the “unswept floor” mosaic floor concept and knew I wanted to adapt it for letterpress. Turns out, living in a house with a one-year-old is the perfect opportunity to use a messy floor as a motif. And so it became my family’s holiday card design - here’s how I made it ⭐️

this client wanted something special and tactile to invite employees to their holiday party after a momentous year. we landed on a luxurious letterpress and digitally printed invite on cotton paper, with this playful typeface and cascading details.
