Welcome to The Pretty Things Paper Co., a little shop offering handmade paper goods inspired by simple, modern design, with a whimsical flair.
I’m Alice, the owner and designer behind this business. I have been involved in design in one form or another for more than 14 years, though it wasn’t until 2008 that I realized just how much I enjoyed being creative. I had designed some of the stationery for my wedding that year and that left me wanting to do more. Since then, I’ve worked on various freelance design projects, including personalized invitations, greeting cards, advertisements and company logos.
I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember — since I was a child getting messy with my easel and watercolour paint set. These days, I make most of my "messes" digitally (much easier to clean up!), but the driving principles behind my work remain the same — have fun, create something beautiful and brighten someone’s day.
After the birth of my son in 2014, I found the inspiration I needed to start The Pretty Things Paper Co. Opening this shop has allowed me to share my work with others in a way that fits my life. As a working mom, being able to offer pre-designed, made-to-order products online simply made sense to me.
I believe beauty is in the details. All of my designs begin as sketches on paper and eventually become digital images that are usually the result of several revisions. Each and every piece that leaves my studio is produced and packaged with meticulous care.
I hope you find something here that will bring a smile to your face and help you celebrate the people you love in a special and meaningful way.
Thank you for stopping by!
Alice
