I Want to Create Beautiful Things

Straw Heart Press is a small letterpress and design operation located in Birmingham, Al. I am working on a Kelsey Model X 6 by 10 letterpress and I am very excited to produce beautiful work. I have had my press since October 2014

I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Auburn University and have worked in retail management for the past few years. I find joy in the small detail of things; with retail, it is getting to dress mannequins and make sure the clothes are layered and pinned and scrunched just right. In design and letterpress, it is finding the perfect paper, ink and registration to get a job printed to perfection. From wedding invitations to family Christmas cards, I am looking forward to working with you to create something for your special occasion through letterpress and design.

100% Hand Pressed

All the work you see on this website has been hand pressed by ours truly. I love helping create things that others might not know how or have the time to create themselves.
