Every celebration begins with a single red thread.
Hand-painted invitations, event design and decor for the moments fate intended. Made by hand, one story at a time.
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, however far apart, however tangled the years. It may stretch. It never breaks.
Painted by hand,
not pressed by machine.
Nothing here is templated. Every suite is drawn and painted by hand on heavyweight cotton stock, then finished with detail you can feel beneath a fingertip. What arrives at your table has been touched, not printed, and never made twice.
Watch the work take shape, stroke by stroke.
From first card to final candle
Stationery, event design and decor, made to belong to one occasion and no other.
A studio of one,
by design.
I take only a handful of commissions each season, because each one is made entirely by me. We begin with a conversation; your day, your colours, the feeling you want a guest to have when they open the envelope. Then I paint, style and finish until it is right.

Let's tie your story
together.
Tell me a little about your occasion and I'll be in touch to arrange a consultation.
A limited number of commissions are taken each season
