Studio Portmanteau is happily based out of my home studio in Oregon's gorgeous Rogue Valley. A passion for the simple things in life - stargazing, beachcombing, gardening, cooking, the great outdoors - plus a fascination with tiny things and an obsession with all things golden led to the idea behind this design studio specializing in matchboxes, and more recently delving into a broader range of thoughtful objects for the home and special occasions. As a lover of all things vintage, I see the matchbox itself as a tiny little piece of a bygone era that still resonates with us today and reminds us to sit down, light a candle, and spend the evening catching up with friends or devouring a good book. I love bringing materials to life with my unique perspective as a trained designer, intrepid explorer, and avid maker. Most of my items are hand-pressed with metal dies on a vintage foil stamper that is the mainstay of my studio. My art embraces rich topics like botany, astronomy, and cartography through my own contemporary aesthetic lens. Fresh, warm illustrations are stamped onto long-lasting paper goods that fit your needs, be it for everyday writing, decorating, and relaxing, or special occasions like weddings, parties, and heartfelt gifts.
