Credit to my father, who sat with me, designing birthday invites in Microsoft Word when I was 7.

My mother, who saved every art piece I ever made and has kept letter writing alive in our family.

My brother, my drawing partner, who stayed in the lines much better than me.

My grandfather, who shared my love of stationary and office supplies, and who would cut out newspaper clippings for me to stay on top of current events.

And finally my aunt, who has the most exquisite cursive I’ve ever seen.
