... our story ...

Paper Stories, the brainchild of designer Kelly Maron, has been designing and letterpressing joy into people's lives since 2005. Working primarily on a 1926 Chandler & Price printing press, lovingly named Chandy P. (aka "The Behemoth"), our little Chicago area studio handcrafts every card and invitation that leaves our doors. While our company is small, our ideas are big. We wouldn't have it any other way.

In early 2009 Kelly teamed up with another designer, Tami Rasmussen, to open an eco-friendly retail space along with a collaborative workspace that house both of our companies. While our styles are divergent, our philosophy is the same. Plus we think we make a great team!
