The Opportunity
I saw a gap between two extremes in the wedding stationery market — generic, editable Etsy templates on one side, and fully bespoke design studios on the other — and no real middle ground offering a designer-led product with the flexibility of DIY.
The Approach
-
Defined the positioning — designer-quality templates covering everything from save the date to thank you, letting couples achieve a custom studio look on their own terms
-
Built the brand solo — name, logo, website, brand personality, and e-commerce store, entirely from scratch
-
Solved the photography problem — without budget for styling, florals, and a full photoshoot per design, art directed AI tools to generate cohesive, on-brand "shoots" for each stationery suite
-
Built the ongoing content engine — social content, product cards, and EDMs, keeping the brand consistently presented across every channel
The Result
A fully independent e-commerce brand, built and run entirely solo.
-
All product "photography" is entirely AI-generated, art directed suite by suite to look like a real styled shoot
