As the creative behind AmpersandInk, I am your go-to stationery expert, always eager to lend a helping hand and offer valuable advice on all things paper.
I know how important it is for your wedding invitation to be just as beautiful as the love story it reflects, and for it to give your guests a glimpse into the celebration to come.
That's why I take the time to get to know you and your fiancé, so I can create a design that reflects your unique relationship and the moments that led to your engagement.
You deserve a wedding invitation that tells your story and invites your guests to be part of your happy beginning. Let me help you create something beautiful that you'll cherish forever.
In 2010, my sister asked me to design her wedding invitation. I was hesitant at first, feeling uncertain about my abilities. But, with her encouragement, I decided to take on the challenge. And I am so glad I did. The finished product was a beautiful representation of their unique love story.
That day, I learned that sometimes we just need someone to believe in us before we can believe in ourselves.
So, when I decided to turn my hobby into a business I teamed up with my sister, who's a fantastic writer, and together we came up with - Ampersand Ink. I love the imagery of relationships and ink designs on paper, I think our clients will too.
