Hi, I'm Claire! 👋
I actually went to school for Graphic Design and Illustration, but honestly, this whole shop really started at my kitchen table late one night. I was trying to plan my daughter's first birthday and I just couldn't find an invitation that felt special enough. So, armed with a latte, my laptop, and my design background, I decided to make one myself. When my friends saw it and asked me to design theirs, I realized I was on to something.
I'm a mom, a coffee lover, and a Texas-based artist. What began as a pivot from the traditional design world into custom invitations has grown into a space for all the things I love to create.
Now, my favorite thing is taking your memories and turning them into physical pieces you'll keep forever. Whether I'm carefully bringing a faded photo of your grandparents back to life, or turning your cat into a galactic hero (because let's be real, they run the house anyway), I pour my training and my heart into every single piece.
When you order from Mercer & Maine, you aren't getting a generic, automated file. You're getting me a real person with the technical skills to obsess over the details and make sure your art is perfect.
Thanks so much for being here and supporting my small business. It really does mean the world to me. 🍓
