"details make perfection"

I'm your friendly creative partner, stationery designer & calligrapher in DC

- Leonardo da vinci

After wishing my own wedding paper felt more intentional, I built a creative studio focused on custom, cohesive design that actually lives up to the event you meticulously planned.

I create refined, detail-driven stationery for couples and planners who care about how it all comes together. With experience across complex, high-touch events, I handle both the artistry and the logistics throughout the entire process.

Learn how my values and background shape every detail of your stationery experience:

Love expands the world. It crosses cities, cultures, histories, and expectations. Your celebration should feel just as rich.

Each suite is designed with curiosity and a spirit of adventure, drawing from the places, traditions, and textures that shape your legacy. The result is stationery that feels layered, storied, and deeply personal, giving your guests a glimpse into the life you are building together.

Humans have always made beautiful things in difficult times. Not as escapism, but as an act of courage and hope. I believe celebration is radical. I believe joy is worth making permanent.

Every suite we create together is your contribution to a long and luminous human tradition of marking what matters most.

Radical joy

Ericka was amazing with providing additional proofs and taking the time to really work with us on colors and font options. The final product came out incredible!

"The final product came out incredible!"

Weddings are deeply personal, and often emotional. You deserve a process that feels calm, clear, and free from unnecessary stress.

Every project is guided with empathy and care, creating a collaborative experience that feels supportive, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable. So you can feel confident, cared for, and present for what matters most.

The smallest details shape the entire experience. From the quality of your paper to how every piece is labeled and organized for your planner, nothing is overlooked.

Each element is carefully reviewed for accuracy and craftsmanship, so you can relax knowing it is handled and your stationery feels as polished as the rest of your celebration.

(Ericka) created a custom watercolor of the Cafe du Monde which is stunning! She also communicated very well regarding her suggestions and made sure the final copy was ready to go before printing. She checked in with me frequently and she truly made this experience so smooth and stress free!
