about virgo and paper
the story
it all started with stickers.
Hi, I’m Ashton - an artist, illustrator and content creator who’s been dreaming about how to make stationery my full-time job ever since my first trip to the Sanrio store as a preschooler.
My passion lies in nature-inspired, painterly, whimsical illustration and surface pattern designs for stationery & gifts. I’m proud to design stationery in partnership with brands like minted while running Virgo and Paper, my own line that encourages paper lovers to document their story.
I believe limitations set the stage for creativity to thrive, so I’m very intentional in choosing analog and digital tools to use - whether in art, my home, or to share with you. For a peek into my studio, favorite tools and techniques, you’ll find thoughtful, fun, and encouraging content on Instagram or YouTube.
When I’m not in my art studio, you’ll find me:
- Chasing my toddler or our 11-lb pup
- Exploring Atlanta’s beltline and parks
- Taking a long stroll down the aisle of my public library
For stationery & gift design, brand partnerships, or if you just want to talk about journaling and stickers, contact me here - I can’t wait to work with you.
