I'm Andi of ap loves design. My background is in advertising design and as a hobby started apld which is now my life! I first opened my shop designing holiday photo cards, but last year expanded and began to design greeting cards and other paper goods.

My creative process starts with tons of sketches. I spend a great deal of time trying to get the wording right for my cards. I like them to be a tiny bit quirky, with a hint of sarcasm, and fun! I scan my sketches in and with the help of my computer I add color and clean it up a bit. I also use my handy bamboo tablet that I'm also obsessed with.

I've always been a bit obsessed with paper…who isn't! So it made complete sense for me to work with paper, right? I work out of our home office, with my furry partner Layla usually by my side. Not helping me fold cards, but rather napping. But she's allowed - she's 98!

My family is super awesome and have been very supportive. I know how blessed I am. And one day this will become my full time dream job. Just you wait!
