After submitting your inquiry, I’ll follow up with a few questions to better understand your vision, style, and needs.
From there, you’ll receive a custom mood board and curated package options tailored to your wedding.
Paper upgrades and embellishments can be added at any stage, so you don’t need to have every detail decided upfront.

Design process

1.

Once your proposal is approved and the retainer is secured, we’ll begin the creative process.
We’ll start with a design consultation, followed by initial concepts inspired by your story, your venue, and the overall feeling you want to create.
From there, we’ll refine every detail together through an unlimited proofing process. I'll ensure that your final suite feels thoughtful, cohesive, and entirely your own.

With your final design approved, your suite moves into production with trusted, detail-oriented printing partners.
Each piece is carefully produced and fully assembled, ensuring a polished and cohesive presentation.
From there, your invitations can be mailed on your behalf as part of a white-glove service, or shipped to you fully assembled, sealed, and ready to send.

I’ve always been drawn to art, especially the kind you can feel in the details. From traditional painting and drawing to pottery and calligraphy, I’ve spent years exploring different creative outlets and finding joy in the process of making something by hand.

I also come from a science background, which has shaped the way I approach design. It taught me to be thoughtful, precise, and deeply attentive to the little details that others might overlook. That balance of creativity and intention is something I bring into every piece I create.

That love for art took on a new meaning when I designed my own wedding stationery for my Pi Day wedding in 2025. Inspired by art nouveau and its flowing, organic lines, I created something that felt personal, thoughtful, and completely our own. That experience is what led me to start Little Third Coast.

Now, I design stationery for couples who want something just as meaningful. I’m inspired by your story, your venue, and all the small details that make your celebration unique. I love working through color, shape, and artistic elements to create something that feels truly one of a kind.

When I’m not designing, you can usually find me in Chicago with my husband and our cat, Kiki, often with a sketchbook nearby
