a note from the designer
The Heart Behind the Designs
As a self proclaimed bibliophile and book club devotee, I've always been fond of captivating stories and the resonance of words. One of my first experiences with literary lessons was from a favorite childhood book, Miss Rumphius. From a young age, her words planted an innate desire to see beauty and meaning in all of life’s moments.
Inspired by classic literature written by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott and the works of French Impressionists like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, my designs are rooted in the intersection of these two disciplines. The art of storytelling transcends time and space, and my most memorable projects thoughtfully weave meaningful details into the wedding invitation design. It’s these details that surprise and delight.
Whether exchanging vows at a classic church wedding or on the hillside in the south of France, my couples inspire me to develop unique and fresh ideas. The design process is truly collaborative and deeply rewarding. An unexpected joy of being a wedding stationery designer is the personal relationships I’ve built with my clients. I am honored to play a small part in their story.
I look forward to connecting with you to create a beautiful expression of your experiences, emotions, and perspectives.

Wedding Stationery Designer & Artist
As with most journeys in life, my path to a wedding stationery designer has been non-linear. The experience has been akin to walking through an ancient city. It’s been a journey requiring persistence, patience, and having a heart open to new possibilities.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I moved to Texas to attend Texas Christian University, where I received a Master’s in Accounting. I worked for a time in Public Accounting, and now bring that attention to detail to my work in weddings. Couples appreciate my innate eye for style and my natural ability to transform vague ideas into concrete designs.
Merging my love of the arts with my meticulous nature, I began work as a calligrapher in 2014, launching Lupine Letters in 2018. Over a decade of ink-stained fingers, real-life experience, and a commitment to learning have transformed me into the designer I am today. I combine my love for letterforms with iconic, timeless design. Influenced by fashion, nature, and, naturally, some of the greatest love stories of all time, I specialize in creating thoughtful wedding stationery for the modern, romantic couple.
Embracing the arts at home, I prioritize creativity through travel, interior design, and entertaining. During my downtime, I enjoy curling up with a good book, snuggling one of my many beloved pets, and spending time with my family. You can usually find me in my studio, surrounded by paintbrushes and calligraphy nibs, exploring new color palettes, or taking my family on our next great adventure, seeking beauty in the unexpected.
