I am Kelle Anne McCarter, founder of "designsgirl", a graphic design and calligraphy business. I work from a home studio in Castle Rock, Colorado with two lovable Golden Retrievers by my side.
I am a wedding invitation designer for Bella Figura- the artisan letterpress company in Syracuse, New York and provide calligraphy services to both Bella Figura and its sister company Smock Paper. Two of my calligraphy styles- "Bescal" and "Stella"- are available for custom stationery printing at Smock retailers throughout the U.S.
I am also a member of Crane & Co.'s stationery design team, providing calligraphy for its engraved stationery products.
One of my creative ventures is "hello love" - an online paper goods shop which opened in December 2010 and features a collection of note cards, wedding invitation designs, wrapping paper, custom calligraphy rubber stamps, downloadable digital designs, and more- all featuring my original illustrations. New designs are introduced regularly throughout the year.
My partner Laura Dombrowski and I published the premier issue of our beautiful annual specialty art magazine called paperswell: modern design ideas for paper goods & weddings in spring 2012 which celebrates all of the things we love- design, stationery, paper goods, weddings, crafts, photography, books and our favorite artists and talented clients. Available at paperswell.com.
Please contact me with calligraphy or graphic design inquiries or just to say "hello".
Creatively yours,
Kelle
