About

Hi! I’m Johanna and I am the lady behind this corner studio in Lincoln, Nebraska. I design and hand-letter paper goods, and then print them on my century-old letterpress. I have a major obsession with trees, so it's fitting that I am from "The Arbor State". Although, you may be surprised to know that I mostly print on cotton paper.

As a graphic designer, I have always found beauty in a quality printed piece. And so began a quest to learn the art of letterpress printing. In 2010, I acquired a small tabletop letterpress. Once I pulled my first print, I was hooked. A few months later, I spotted a beautiful 9×13 platen press and brought her home. My press is lovingly named “Ruby” for her reddish hues and dainty frame. Each sheet of paper is hand-fed into the press, which is manually operated with a foot treadle (no motor). The results are beautiful tactile paper products that look and feel amazing. Watch our press in action to learn more.

I am available for branding projects and collabs (I love working with other makers and designers!). I also do custom projects like: wedding invitations, shower invitations, birth announcements and more. Check out my blog to see what I'm working on or contact me for a quote. Thanks for stopping by!
