✨ EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

I'm so excited to announce that my handbound books will be launching in store TOMORROW at Atlas Stationers in the Loop. I've created an exclusive line of journals, notebooks, and watercolor sketchbooks for the store and I can't wait for you all to see them!

If you're in Chicago, I highly recommend popping in to see them in person! Atlas Stationers is INCREDIBLE and has so many books, fountain pens, inks, stickers, and more! If you can't make it to the store, then go check out their website.

I’ll be in store Friday, August 21st from 12-4pm for a pop up event, so stop by and chat all things handmade books with me 📚

In my latest video, I show how I created a completely handmade baby album for my nephew. I added an accordion style spacer to allow for expansion when photos are added, giving a unique structure to this spine. Give it a watch!

Bookbinding without the sewing? It's possible!

In my latest video, I’m making a perfect bound notebook using a fully glued spine... no sewing required! This softcover notebook features a gradient paper cover and a clean, minimal finish, making it a simple and modern bookbinding project.
