Branding work

When your brand and story have a beating heart, and a lung full of fresh air—it is impossible not to fall in love and connect with it.

visceral why

I want to speak the language of handmade, manual, slow-living, minimalist, self-caring, tactile, personal, free, unapologetic, raw, and collaborative. I believe in days off, travel, good food, lattes, movement, books, beauty, and the feminine energy changing the world. I want to support badass passionpreneurs who speak the same language. I want to unfold their whole-hearted and mindful brand stories rooted in human connection and beautiful visual ecosystems.

Let's collaborate

branding

In the age of digital, 24-hour, and on-demand, it is refreshing to create long conversations around purpose and passion.

Your new brand will reflect the value of your goods and services.

Lettering

I can’t quite explain to you how these letter shapes are falling out of my hands, onto the paper, sometimes with ink or spice, sometimes jumping to digital and then back to manual life (letterpress) with texture and toothy paper—but either way—it’s been my greatest discovery to make shapes with my hands and tools. It brings me joy to share these items for looks, for sale, for the love of the craft.

Print Shop

I selfishly create products that I want, and need, and use. My desire to make things is only multiplied by the toothiest papers I can find, and the most interesting products I can create, so you too can tell people how you really feel.

Ponder the Thought

In order to find our voice in the world we have to say and write what is on our minds, accept that not everything will always land in the ears of others as we intend it, and continually dig up the courage to share our stories to express and evolve ourselves.

The Paperreka Blog

As with every online platform, the trepidation of too many, too long, too few, too raw, too whatever post is real. But my need to communicate the products, clients, projects, accomplishments, and downfalls as a designer, maker, and human is also inevitable. So consider this your warning if you follow along.
