What 3 words describe your work? Modern, detailed and personalized.

Why should someone hire you? I absolutely love collaborating with clients to make their vision a reality. I understand how stressful planning a wedding can be so I am here to ensure clients receive my undivided attention and personal care. I want to make this a fun and enjoyable process from the minute they contact me to the time they receive the final product. Also, couples who use us will be making a difference in the lives of others as a portion of our proceeds is donated to various charitable organizations.

What are the common misconceptions about your services? One misconception is that our work is easy to produce. Each piece is individually handmade (not mass-produced) and a lot of time and attention is poured into each piece, so we encourage clients to contact us early in the planning process to ensure they allow ample time for the design and production process. The second common misconception is that, because we do custom work, customers assume they won't be able to afford us. Customers will be surprised to find that our prices are reasonable and we are willing to work with them and offer alternative solution to stay within their budget. Though we might not be able to compete against the bigger companies who offer mass-produced invitations, you will however receive the personal attention you deserve and work that is uniquely designed for you.

What are some of sources of inspiration or influences on your work? I am inspired by people and their stories. I believe each couple is unique and it is such a joy to be able to interpret their visions, personalities and passions into something so tangible like invitations and favors. I am also inspired by the simple yet detailed beauty of nature.

What are 3 words that describe your personality? Down-to-earth, friendly and compassionate.

What's your favorite way to wind down after a hard day? Spending time with my amazing husband. Whether we are watching a movie, cooking, working out together or just sitting on the couch dreaming about the future, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as I am with him I feel relaxed and refreshed.
