Whimsy Spot

Whimsical wildlife paper art Hello! I hail from the land of roller coasters and surfer dudes--the best city on the best coast--Santa Cruz!

You can usually find me ogling vintage typography, sneaking sour gummy candies, or color-coding my fine paper collection. I discovered a passion for paper art in high school and haven't been without an X-acto knife since. Alexa is the owner of Whimsy Spot and Alexa Shoemaker Design. She lives in Atlanta, GA with her husband and two kids.
