w
hat was your inspiration while creating the Equestrian Collection?
For this collection we really wanted to design something that was simple yet still elegant. The gracefulness and beauty of horses were our main inspirations. Given that horses are making frequent appearances in wedding photos and stationery we felt it would be completely appropriate to add this lovely concept to our existing stationery line. We also wanted a simple and pure design that would complement a number of different wedding themes, from rustic to vintage inspired, as well as make a great ďŹ t for those who simply love horses. re you a horse lover?
"i am absolutely a horse 8 / Issue No 3 ~ equestrian love
lover; i have been since i was a little girl." I think my love of horses probably stems from my mother who worked with horses as a stable hand and groomer when she was younger. All of her tales made me intrigued by horses and I have been ever since! I've actually gone riding a couple times with my mom and can't wait to go again. It's great not only because I love horses but it's also an interest that my mom and I share, so it's always special to get out and ride together.

Y
ou draw beautifully. is drawing a hobby or did you take classes in college?
Well thank you very much, that means a lot to hear! Drawing has always been a passion of mine. In fact, I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I used to draw all the time in grade school, constantly doodling in my notebook during class. In high school and then college, I enrolled in formal art classes and my drawing skills flourished. What made me so energetic to do this project was that my favorite thing to draw is portraits. From friends to family to freelance portraits in my spare time, I used to be obsessed with portraiture. Unfortunately now I don't have as much spare time to devote to drawing portraits, so when this collection gave me the chance to do them again I was thrilled!
W
ould Equestrian be the theme you would choose for your wedding?
I have to be honest and say that I really haven't thought too much about my wedding, as my life isn't quite at that point yet. However, if I were planning 10 / Issue No 3 ~ equestrian love
my wedding I could deďŹ nitely see myself using this stationery collection. The simplicity and beauty of the collection opens itself up to be used in any number of different wedding themes I could come up with.
