About Brandy
I fell in love with Printmaking because of all the different tools and mediums. On a life-changing study abroad trip to Italy, I met my best friend, a Textiles major. Fast friends, we took classes in each other’s major, yapping and collaborating like crazy. We started a little business making artwork, tees, and women’s accessories and were picked up by a few Atlanta boutiques. Instead of couches in our lofts, we had 6-foot art tables! We were eager, hopeful, and all in, but we eventually succumbed to 9-5 jobs, and the business was put on hold.
In 2006, I started my blog as a personal diary and creative outlet, documenting my trips and appreciation for all things food and cocktail-related. The blog gradually evolved into designing party invites for my dearest friends and creating products that complemented my daily life and love for entertaining, canning, and cooking. In 2010, I listed a few items in my Etsy shop, and things started building from there.
Working out of my home studio in Atlanta, Georgia, and originally from Savannah, I’m influenced by the South, but I find inspiration everywhere. I create from the colors, textures, and patterns discovered through traveling, and in my everyday surroundings.
Over the past few years, I’ve studied letterpress, calligraphy, textiles, and ceramics. I enjoy an organic creative process, and I’m regularly exploring new mediums.
Turning my ideas into functional objects and seeing them go off into the world is rewarding and a dream come true.
