NSS 2018 Booth

This is how my booth looked like at this year's National Stationery Show. 

I hand painted the walls here in Toronto and we drove them to NYC like last year.

NSS Mailer

I was so busy last week that I didn't have a chance to show you my envelope mailers for the National Stationery Show. The favorite part was creating my own custom stamps which was printed by Canada Post (Picture Postage).

Mailer for NSS

I did these tiny illustrations for my National Stationery Show mailer. 

Basically it's an invitation that exhibitors send to retailers. 

Mine is all beach themed this year! 

New Cards!

Two of the birthday cards from my new collection.

Both have pretty gold foil details!

Happy Persian New Year!

Only 4 hours to the beginning of spring and Persian New Year.

I wish all of you a wonderful year along with health and happiness.

Here is my 7 Seen, a tabletop arrangement for Nowruz. 

It's an ancient tradition and each family makes one of these
before the New Year or Spring Equinox.

By the way, you can see my previous years' 7 Seens here!

Stationery Trends

I was lucky to be one of the "10 Designers to Watch in 2018" of Stationery Trends winter 2018 issue written by the lovely Sarah Schwartz!

It's a cool magazine all about stationery and gifts!
 Check it out here.

Packaging Details

I love packaging! In fact I love packaging design as much as I love to design the actual product!  

I have a box full of bits and pieces of pretty packaging that I've collected over the years, from 

candy wraps to stationery belly bands, perfume boxes, socks tags, ...you name it! :D
