Printing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in my family's print shop, learning the business from the ground up and spending countless hours alongside my dad. As life changed and my children were born, I continued helping in the shop part-time while raising my family.
 

For years, I dreamed of creating a paper boutique—a place that combined beautiful printing, creative design, and thoughtful gifts—but it never seemed like the right time.
 

Then life changed in an instant.
 

After the unexpected loss of my dad, I was faced with a decision I never imagined having to make. Do I walk away from the business and the incredible Downtown District location, or do I finally take the leap I'd been dreaming about?
 

I chose to take the chance.
 

Now that all of my kids are in school, I'm pouring my heart into building Paper Ink—a place that honors my dad's legacy while creating something that's uniquely my own. It's not coming together as quickly as I'd like, but every day brings another step forward, and I truly believe the best is still ahead.

Thank you for supporting this dream, this small business, and the next chapter of our family's story. I can't wait to help bring your ideas to life.
