Letterpress and Design

Choosing the perfect Pantone color for a custom order.
Hand mixing the ink.
My 1923 Chandler & Price letterpress. 1600 pounds of awesome.
Mixing that ink until it is the perfect color and consistency.
Each card is hand-fed and letterpressed. The rollers ink the plate and a deep impression is made in 100% cotton paper.

Take a sneak peek behind the scenes of Paperwheel Press, custom letterpress and design.

Paperwheel Press is a letterpress print studio nestled in the green hills of Portola Valley, California. I founded Paperwheel in 2006 after falling in love in a single letterpressed business card while working in venture capital on Sand Hill Road. I needed to find out more about the art!

I combined my passions for hand-crafted tactile letterpress printing and the lasting art of snail mail to create simple yet impactful greeting cards and custom-designed wedding invitations, announcements, personal stationery, and more.

I trail-run each morning, work at Twitter by day, and print and design by night, weekend, and any other second I get. I compete ultra-marathons all over the world when I feel the need to top things off. :)

Paperwheel Press is a reflection of the little things that make up my style, spirit, and energy.
