When I listened to Nera describe elements from her culture, I harkened back to the first time I visited Pompeii, and saw the unearthed paintings faded by decay. Recreating the atmospheric style in a unique art piece became a central focus to many components of their wedding, including the invitation suite, a mural installation, and bar panels. The original piece was framed and waiting for them in their wedding suite.

Virginia and Carlos wanted to highlight the textures of Mexico in a way that felt simple yet sacred. We pared back the color palette, and let the tone-on- tone textures take center stage. I recall the hours of press checks to get the colors, printing and alignment just right. (The details card alone had 4 different print-making techniques with 9 stages of execution). When I reflect on the days formulating the rigorous work flow needed to create the effect of depth and essence of our vision, I think of the words "quiet luxury".

For the Promontory dinner menus, Jesse wanted to capture the essence of spring as an explosive burst of energy. He showed me wild, curled natural forms, and abstract expressionist paintings. Our conversations left us searching for something we'd never seen. When I got to my studio, I wanted actual natural elements to lend their forms. Using pressed wildflowers, I created these multi-layered monoprints, belaboring the elegance of the craft so that the final result was compelling and alive.

By limiting the number of custom projects we take on each year, we ensure that each client receives the focused attention they deserve. You can expect rapid communication; that we will always keep you informed about budget, and that we will make every effort to meet your deadlines.

With every project, there is a delicate balance between being both reliable and innovative.  Meeting deadlines and expectations is always top of mind, as is pushing boundaries and creating unique concepts tailored to your vision.

One of our greatest joys is to work in partnership with others, whether that is with you (if you are the collaborative type) or your planner (if you'd prefer a more hands off approach). Our goal is for each step of the process to feel effortless, joyful and to yield unexpected discoveries.

“Elsa’s art is insane...she is a true artist. She sees your overall vision and incorporates it into her paper goods flawlessly. She’s also amazing to work with...she’s organized and on top of every detail and timeline. As a planner, It’s imperative I work with vendors whose process is fluid, easy and flexible, and Elsa’s is just that."
