My passion for paper and gifts began when I traveled to Venice, Italy after graduating from High School.  I remember being in a shop that was decades old and I found myself buying stationery sets, pens, and leather bound journals consumed with the art of Italian papers and traditions that were hundreds of years old.  A spark was ignited.

​

Little did I know that 10 years later, I'd be working in a stationery boutique surrounded by beautiful paper, writing instruments and gifts, and the added surprise of working with couples creating wedding invitations!

​

After 30 years, I never get tired of creating the perfect personalized invitation.  I'm truly obsessed with all things personalized: fonts, crests, monograms, beautiful handmade papers from around the world, ink colors, the printing process that makes each invitation magical and unique, hand dyed ribbons, custom wax seals and

the art of putting it all together.

​

I am equally obsessed with helping create the perfect personalized gift.  From hot stamping, embroidery, and laser cutting, I love finding gifts that we can make even more special by adding your name, monogram or special message so

your gift is truly one of a kind.

This year, June 10, 2020, Presence Sherman Oaks will turn 10 years old.  I couldn't do any of this without my amazing team.  We are family! 

Amanda, Kristin, Rebecca and our latest addition, Robin. 

I love you guys!
