Designer · Local · One Person, Start to Finish

Hi, I'm Frankie

Printing is in my blood. I grew up in my dad's print shop, surrounded by ink and paper long before I knew it would become my own life's work. I've designed professionally since 2000, and somewhere along the way I found the part I love most: helping couples create the invitations for the biggest day of their lives. I design every suite with you, one-on-one, then we make it and check every piece by hand. I'll walk you through the papers, the finishes, all of it, and stay right beside you until you have something you can't wait to send.

Why I Work by Appointment

Invitations are a touch-and-feel product being sold by screenshot. The online template sites can't put a letterpress sample in your hands, and that's exactly the part that matters: the weight of the cotton paper, the shine of real foil, the raised ink of thermography. So I built my whole business around coming to you.

Every project starts with a free consultation, at your home or a cafe near you. You'll see and touch real samples, we'll talk honestly about budget (I'm upfront about pricing, always), and you'll have a detailed quote within one business day. No showroom hours, no sales staff, no pressure.

What Working Directly With Me Means

Online template sites hide the person behind a checkout button. Here, you work directly with me from first sketch to final delivery: I show you exactly how a design will print before you commit, talk you through paper and finish choices in plain language, and personally quality-check every piece before it reaches you.

It also means nothing about your suite has to fit a template. Odd sizes, layered pockets, wax seals, custom maps of your venue, your dog drawn into the design: if we can imagine it, I can print it.

Beyond the Invitation

Most couples come for invitations and stay for the rest: save the dates, ceremony programs, menus, seating cards, table numbers, cocktail napkins, coasters, thank you cards, and invites for showers and rehearsal dinners. Everything designed once, carried through everything, so your whole celebration feels considered.
