About Shuffle Designs Studio

 

I believe in creating art and greeting cards that encourage and bring joy to people every day. Sharing creative expression with others is, to me, synonymous with caring. It helps us connect to each other! Don’t we all crave connection and beauty in our lives?!

All of my art is created and printed in house, in my studio, using the highest quality archival papers and inks. Everything I create comes from my hands to your hands!

I believe in doing everything with integrity and kindness, with great attention to detail to ensure that you receive a product that you can proudly send to a loved one or display in your own home!

Creativity has always been a part of my life. My mom was always “shuffling” furniture around, repainting something, sewing new curtains, teaching herself to paint watercolors, refinishing furniture & planting flowers. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve me watching her create! She instilled a love of color and creativity in me from an early age. I remember as a child, laying on the hardwood floor in my bedroom doorway peering down the hallway at my 3 siblings doing the same. There was a roll of paper stretched out the length of the hallway with a smorgasbord of art supplies. The freedom to create for what seemed like an endless amount of time really started my creative journey.

The name Shuffle Design Studio was born out of a desire to pay homage to my mother always “shuffling” things around and the creativity she stirred and nurtured in me.
