I taught middle and high school math for 12 years before moving on to become the owner/operator of Angelica Ink Letterpress.

I became interested in letterpress on a trip to New York City and with a visit to Bowne and Company Stationers. When I walked into the print shop, I loved everything about it. I loved the smell of the ink, the look of the type, the cast iron equipment, the stationery they made and the paper they used. I could only hope to get a press of my own someday.

Within a year, my dreams were coming true, and I was filling my garage with type and presses and I was printing for family and friends. This was 2008. By 2011, I needed more space and was ready to open a print shop. In March of 2013, I opened Angelica Ink Letterpress in the old “Shadowdancers” building in Angelica. The building houses my letterpress studio along with an operating print and copy shop offering offset and digital print options.

I love to share letterpress with all ages and can offer workshops in the studio or at libraries and schools.
