BBesigns

Two months after receiving my BFA in design from the Kansas City Art Institute, I became a first time mom and choose to be a stay at home mom. Now 30 years later with my third son in college I am committed to pursuing my love of art and design with my business
Through the years I have worked in interior design both residential and commercial. Working on rehabbing a warehouse into an office building and redecorating hotel rooms and lobby at a large upscale hotel in Kansas City.
I had my own jewelry making business creating pins and bolo's from vintage jewelry. I sold in shops in Kansas City, New Orleans and New York.
I created wall weaving using fabric samples and lots of boy scout arts and crafts.

As each of my 3 sons reached Bar Mitzvah age I designed and created each of their unique invitations along with place cards room decorations, room and program booklets for a complete party package. It was from that experience that I decided to develop my current business plan.
When I started my stationary business I came up with the name of BBesigns because my initials are BB. That got me thinking bees and I live in Kansas so bees and sunflowers have become my signature product and logo.
I have always had a passion for recycling and saving I am creating papers from recycled computer and scrap paper , confetti, tea leaves, seeds and really anything I can find and reuse and I try to find cardstock made for recycled paper. My shop is growing into a full stationary invitation business.
