One person, good taste, a real turnaround
Hi. I am the whole studio.
I coordinate events at a school, which means I have planned more parties than most people attend in a decade, and I have watched exactly what a good invitation does to the turnout. People come when they can tell somebody cared.
Design was the part I kept doing after hours because I liked it. Friends started asking. Then friends of friends. At some point it stopped being a favour and started being work worth charging for, so here we are.
What I am good at is taste: colour, layout, contrast, type, and the difference between crowded and generous. What I am not is a branding agency. I will not build you a logo system or a brand book, and I will not pretend I can. I make the paper for the thing you are throwing, and I make it better than you would find anywhere else at this price.
Every job is mine start to finish. Nothing is outsourced, nothing is run through a template generator, and nobody else touches your files.
What this studio is
A one-person design studio making invitations, announcements and event paper, delivered as digital files, from San Diego County to anywhere.
What it isn't
An agency, a print shop, a stationery retailer, or a graphic designer who will take on your logo. Four things it is not, said plainly, because knowing that saves us both a phone call.
Small on purpose
I take a handful of custom jobs a month. It is the only way each one gets the attention it needs, and it is why I will tell you if I am full.
Honest timelines
If I cannot do it well in the time you have, I will say so before you pay rather than after.
Digital delivery
Files, not shipping. You are never waiting on a courier the week of your party.
Your files are yours
Print them as many times as you want, forever. No licences, no per-use fees, no coming back to me for a reprint.
Why the school job matters
It is the reason the flyer work exists and the reason I am fast. I have made the ten-at-night poster for the Thursday event more times than I can count, and I know what it costs an organisation to have every piece of material look slightly improvised.
It also means I understand the calendar. When I tell you a graduation invitation needs to go out earlier than feels necessary, it is because I have watched families lose the date.
