After graduating with my Master’s Degree in Printmaking from a university in East Tennessee and moving to a much warmer client with my husband, I launched ThistleBerry Press in Killeen, Texas. I was a short drive from Austin, the city that first afforded me the opportunity to fall in love with letterpress printing. One class and I was hooked! I then spent the next year searching for old type cabinets and presses and was lucky enough to find my Vandercook late 2005. Built in 1954, it’s simply the most beautiful piece of machinery I’ve ever seen. And weighing in at about 1100 lbs., it’s the largest love of my life! We have now made the move to Coastal Georgia, we are located just outside historic Savannah and are thrilled with our new location! 

With my background in fine art printing, I look at each commission as a work of art. I truly enjoy my job. I enjoy hearing the excitement in a bride's voice when it’s just perfect. It’s great being a part of someone's special day and giving them something they will treasure for years to come. I love designing a custom piece that is completely unique to the client. And I especially love combining handmade papers and ribbons to provide that special finishing touch.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or ideas you may have. I would love the opportunity to design something special just for you! Thanks for your interest in ThistleBerry Press!
