The big dreams, big ideas, & little steps that led me here.

MEET CARRIE

I’m Carrie. Someone who gets way too excited about paper quality, type set, and tiny details. And an artist obsessed with turning every project into something thoughtful, personal, and a little unexpected.

CUSTOM WEDDING INVITATION DESIGNER | FOUNDER OF BIG LITTLE LINES

Today, I create custom stationery defined by original design and refined craftsmanship.

And she truly understood my vision. Beyond that took it to life with her own amazing creativity.

I grew up in a home where creativity showed up in everyday life, so a love of art came naturally. But design didn’t take center stage in my life until much later. I launched Big Little Lines while building a successful career in nonprofit development. There, I learned to balance people, personalities, and big goals (often all at once).

BEGIN YOUR EXPERIENCe

Great stationery design isn’t just about how it looks. 
It’s about how it’s made, how it’s experienced, and how it makes people feel.

THE HEART BEHIND BIG LITTLE LINES

BEGIN YOUR EXPERIENCE

TRUE RAPPORT CREATES BETTER DESIGN

I’m warm, open, and real, which makes it easy to share what you actually want, even if your vision feels fuzzy at first. When you feel understood, ideas flow, decisions feel lighter, and collaboration becomes enjoyable instead of stressful.

I’m at my best when experimenting with new techniques or unexpected details. And I often find my clients inspire me just as much as the work itself. Every project starts with one question: What if? That play keeps the work evolving and ensures your stationery is truly one-of-a-kind. 

EXPLORATION KEEPS THE WORK FRESH

Every celebration comes with a mix of voices: planners, parents, and strong opinions included. My nonprofit fundraising background taught me to balance personalities, make collaboration easy, and guide everything toward one shared vision: yours.

PEOPLE SKILLS ARE DESIGN SKILLS

CRAFTSMANSHIP YOU CAN
COUNT ON 

Doing things the right way might take longer, but it always pays off. If I don’t have an immediate answer, I’ll find it. If something goes wrong, I’ll own it and fix it. You’ll always know where things stand, with zero guesswork.

 I had no clue what I wanted and really leaned on her for guidance. She came up with the most creative and beautiful designs that perfectly matched my style.  More than that, she is a joy to work with... so kind, responsive & fun!
