Wood & Leather & Letterpress || These interactive “place cards” are still my favorites I’ve ever made.

S*M wanted each guest to feel their loving embrace as they sat down for an exquisite meal surrounded by their closest friends and family.

We letterpressed a personal note that was subtly hidden behind their name card, to be discovered one by one.

Talk about a special moment.

Layers & Textures || The way captured P&R’s invitations made me gasp. His artistry with light & angles & composition is unmatched.

I had so much fun with this one. P&R gave me complete trust and freedom with the design and I’m obsessed with the outcome.

Large-scale es**rt displays are hands-down my absolute favorite part of wedding day stationery.

I’m an architect (did you know?) but left the corporate world in 2018. Marrying my background in architecture design with my current love of stationery & signage is a DREAM come true.

Lea & Cole wanted an “elevated Irish pub” theme so of course we made each guest a pub coaster! And an Irish pub wouldn’t be complete without the Guinness “lovely day for a WEDDING” 🍻

Shadow & Light || If you know one thing about letterpress, it’s that it only comes to life in the right lighting. Mixing moody shadows, dramatic side light, and an editorial font is one of my all-time favs.

Chiffon & Sculpted Emboss || Menus for E&M last year. Can you see a sculpted Mr. Rex peeking from underneath the fabric overlay??

✨I’m Elise✨

I care deeply about things.

Nature is my creative fuel.

Animals (especially dogs) are the light of my life and I give endless hours to volunteering for rescue orgs.

I love to experiment with new tools, materials, and techniques.

My art isn’t for everyone and that’s okay.

I love making deep connections with people and having hard conversations.

I heard a quote recently that stuck with me, “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.” While the world is on fire, I hope this little corner of the internet can bring you joy.

All are welcome here.

Details, Details, Details || Every single tiny detail of this reception was carefully planned and executed to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more creatively aligned team!
