Testimonials
“Warren and I first met Elizabeth to discuss ideas for the Smithsonian commemorative book in February of 2020. However, due to the pandemic and the numerous changes and edits which came from our side, the project wasn’t completed until the winter of 2023. Throughout it all, Elizabeth was a consummate professional – ever patient with an exacting client whose schedule frequently caused delays, but always quickly responsive when the time came to resume the work.
The finished book is exquisite and exceeded all expectations, thanks to Elizabeth’s own excellent letterpress artistry and design sensibility, as well as that of the paper and binding. She is a talented artist with the sensibilities of a diplomat and the practical skills of a general contractor. She certainly exercised all of those attributes as she shepherded our commemorative book to a flawless fruition.”

“Elizabeth has made it possible for me to create more than half a dozen beautiful books in the past few years. Some of those books have incorporated Elizabeth’s gorgeous watercolor illustrations, as well as her pen & ink hand-lettering. All have been glowing examples of her many talents as a fine letterpress printer. Elizabeth is a delight to work with, and I look forward to many more projects with her in the future.”

“I was introduced to Elizabeth when I was working for one of her clients, and knew when the time came, I would love to work with her.
Two years ago, when I was planning my wedding there was no question who we (my now husband Rick and I) wanted to create our wedding suite. In addition to the invitations, Elizabeth created the reception stationery – including custom menus & place cards, programs, gift tags and our specialty
cocktail menu.
Our initial meeting was so fun, Elizabeth took our ideas and elevated them into so much more than we could have imagined. She created many original drawings for us to use as well. She came to the venue to get a feel for the area and what we were looking for – something I have never experienced before. We had a pretty long list of wants and she came through on everything and then some. There’s never any doubt about her passion for her craft, just talking to her…you can hear her enthusiasm and it’s obvious how much she wants to deliver an amazing product. What she produced is so beautiful and thoughtful, and I’ve had friends ask for her contact because they were so enamored with her work.
Besides creating our suite, she also assisted in creating a beautiful linen box to hold a sample of all of our treasures, as well as a framed piece of art showing the invitation ensemble. Elizabeth is also very prompt and didn’t miss a single deadline.
I can’t say enough about the ease in working with her. If there were Michelin stars for her business, she would certainly be a three star operation.”

“I cannot express how much beauty and joy Elizabeth has brought to my life and that of my clients. For twenty-five years she has created magic! Her work is innovative and fresh, she is the ultimate professional and so much fun to collaborate with. She is an incredibly versatile graphic designer. She has mastered the art of letterpress printing, her hand-painted water color work is gorgeous, and her ability to team up with calligraphers, florists and event planners to produce the ultimate stationery package is one of a kind. I look forward to working with Elizabeth for many more years, and sharing her talent with my clients and friends.”
