Specializing in translating digital illustrations into papercraft artistry, mostly through portraits, fan art, layered typography, and other whimsical/pop culture wonderies.
I love working on commission projects to help turn client visions into a beautiful paper work of cherished art
Interested in a custom piece?
Fill out the quick request questionnaire to tell me a little about your project idea.
I reach out to setup a 15-20min consultation to talk through your project vision and answers questions about my process. Timelines for projects can vary depending on the complexity of your vision, material availability, and my current workload.
I send you a quote based on our discussion. This quote includes a small deposit to secure your project in my queue.
Project design and planning begins upon receiving deposit. I send regular updates on my progress as it develops and ask questions as needed.
Final template is submitted for your approval. I make changes until you are happy before programing the cuts for the project.
Final cuts and assembly begin. Once complete, delivery of project is arranged.
I love taking on new challenges - puzzling through design requests of all kind really makes me happy. Paper is my medium of choice, but if there is something in particular you are envisioning for your piece, let’s talk it out. I’ve included mixed materials like string & foil, painted backgrounds, and used chipboard to created shadowboxes with deep layers.
Pricing is quite variable and may change from the initial quote. Size, complexity, material selection, shipping, and timeline all factor into the final pricing of the piece but I try to be fair and upfront before the process begins - while I love challenges, I don’t love surprises and I don’t want to catch anyone off guard at the delivery of their piece. I believe in full transparency and will provide realistic delivery dates & updates throughout the process.
