Talking Letterpress Invitation Design with Shana Wanco
Show Notes

This week, Shana Wanco, (@irisandmariepress) owner of Iris & Marie Letterpress, talks about being specific about the type of work you want to do and finding the type of client that wants to work with what you want to do; you don’t have to say yes to everything. We discuss how she finds design inspiration in her client’s engagement story and honeymoon plans, as well as creating complimentary design details to provide texture to a client’s personal story and style. Shana breaks down the difficulty of starting your own business, how stressful it is, and how it feels like you are constantly starting over with finding new clients. Lastly, we focus on the user experience of opening an envelope, the difficulty of using handmade paper, and her personal quest to convince brides that a matchbox is a better give away than a koozie.
