About the Designer
Hello and welcome! My name is Cassie and I am the graphic designer and maker behind Wildworth Design Co.
I live out in the country in central California with my husband Justin, our toddler Arthur and our little fur & shell family: Cali our cat, Lucy our Chiweenie mix, and 4 turtles: Snappy, Princess Buttercup, Big Guy and Speedy. Also what would appear to be a limitless supply of spiders...ahh the joys of country living ; )
I worked and was trained at American Press in Fresno, California. It is a family run printing press first established in 1907 and still owned and operated by my grandfather and uncle. Prior to Covid I operated a successful custom stationery business that folded when in-person events did in 2020. During that downtime I purchased & self taught how to design for & operate an in-house laser printer & Wildworth Design Co was born!
I originally worked as as Respiratory Therapist both in Monterey & Fresno, before I ran into some serious health issues that disabled me from working in a traditional hospital environment. What a blessing in disguise it has been! I feel like I have truly found something that I love to do every single day, and something that it is possible for me to do while still accommodating my medical state. Having trained and put so much effort, time and money into my job as a Respiratory Care Practitioner only to have to leave the field a few short years later was heartbreaking, but I cannot help but be so grateful it happened.
Etsy is such a wonderful community and has been an amazing building block for this business. From the beginning the customers I've met along the way are such sweet people, and getting to work closely with them has been so fulfilling.
Being a realist/skeptic type of person, it always seemed like nonsense when I heard the oft quoted phrase of "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." but I've found it to be a bit true. Such a disturbing realization for a pessimist like myself : )
Anyway, all of that aside, let me thank you for visiting my shop and taking the time to read this. Please do look around and see if there are some little pretties you must have in your life!
Always with Love,
Cassie Sidsworth
