I'm Erin Eileen
I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA with my 15-year-old Shichon, Griswold. I picked Griz up on Christmas Eve which is how he got his name (a nod to Clark from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation)! I have lived in the Washington, D.C. area my entire life and have lived in almost every pocket of the DMV.
I majored in Art History and minored in Studio Art at a liberal arts school in Harrisonburg, Virginia, a master’s degree in education, and a Certificate in Graphic Design from the Corcoran School of Art & Design in Washington, DC. I taught cursive as a third-grade teacher when cursive was part of the curriculum.

Erin did the calligraphy addresses for my daughter’s wedding invitations. Besides her work being beautifully flawless, she is responsive and a pleasure to work with. We received so many compliments on the invitations and people asked me who did the calligraphy.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you order stationery or envelopes for me?
A: Letterpress is a traditional relief printing technique in which a raised, ink surface is pressed onto paper to create an impression. This method, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, was the primary means of printing for centuries before being largely replaced by offset printing and digital methods.
Line, texture and color that cohesively come together are what make a design come to life.
Q: What is letterpress printing?
A: If you want 5 cards written, it will cost you $300. If you want 60 cards written, it will be $300.
Q: What does a pricing minimum mean?
