Self-Taught Designer with a Passion for Beautiful Stationery and Gifts
Thanks for visiting! My name is Kathryn and I am the owner/designer here at Reply by Design Studio. I started this Etsy shop in 2010 while I was a graduate student and full-time student teacher in New York City. Originally just a part-time hobby, Reply by Design Studio has since grown into a full-time business. In the years since I opened my shop, I’ve worked with thousands of couples, families and event planners to create the perfect stationery for every occasion. I’ve also shipped thousands of Christmas ornaments (my personal favorite) and other gifts that are sure to be keepsakes for years to come.
I fell into the small business world accidentally but I’ve had a long standing love-affair with graphic design and event planning. I started teaching myself how to use the Adobe Creative Suite when I was gifted a copy of Photoshop at the age of 13. My major projects included creating brightly colored desktop wallpapers of my favorite celebrities (*NSYNC, anyone?!), and screensavers set to my favorite early 2000s tunes. I continued to hone my design skills for years before turning my favorite hobby into my career.
When I am not working on filling your orders, creating new designs, and expanding my business, you will find me watching reality television, listening to country music, and spending time with my amazing family and friends.
I feel grateful to have found my way into an industry where life’s special moments are celebrated. I look forward to working with you on all of your design needs!
