Hello, I'm Dana Aubrey - a Letterpress Artist & Stationery Designer.
Designing stationery with antique tools is a labour of love. Inspired by the arts and craft era of letterpress, I’m an artistic designer exploring her graphic design roots.
I’m excited to share the soul-quenching experience of snail-mail through a line of handcrafted stationery. The means to that end, I found the moment I met letterpress. As a lifelong letter-writer and reciprocal collector of personal correspondence, I’ve journeyed into the heartwood of this well-travelled snail-mail collection for inspiration.
Drawn to simple beauty and the complicated process it often takes to get there, I aspire to spark lasting human connections through the authenticity of the ink and paper connection. Without hesitation, bordering on drunken delight, I seek here to highlight its beautiful nature.
A whisper is relevant for only as long as it is spoken, but a paper represents more. Its physical form grants permanence.”
— Bridgerton, S2, Ep 6: The Choice
