Hi! I'm Laura, a designer/illustrator currently based in Missouri. Fittingly enough I fell in love with stationery design while creating my own wedding invitations. After a few years in the Minted school of design, I am now working on my own line of lovely paper pieces. Simply put I like all things pretty - flowers, fashion and textiles bring me endless inspiration.

Dear Customer,
From,
Please write a short statement about where you call home and what inspires you as an artist. (Limited to 275 characters or less). This note will be displayed to customers on the product details page of your art prints on the Minted website.
Sample: Annie Clark approaches her art with a graphic designer's eye. A long-time resident of the Mission in San Francisco, she is constantly inspired by the diverse color and texture of her neighborhood.
Please write a short note to customers who purchase your art prints. Every Minted Art Print will come with a special folded card that includes your picture and a thank you from the artist, adding a special personal touch that helps customers remember you and your artwork. This is separate from the Thank You Note above and is important to position the art piece as a high-end piece with credibility.
To help us prepare your special card, please make sure that the image of you on the site is a photograph, not a logo, and please draft a thank you note to customers, limiting yourself to 150 characters. No words will be added to your statement, so your statement should be written in its entirety, including your name. Please do not include your contact info or a URL. This information could create confusion for follow-up customer service.
Sample: Hello! I am so honored you chose my artwork to hang in your home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have in making it. Best to you, Annie
congrats on the WINS! really great work! :)
Such lovely work in this website! I'm glad I just discovered it. I really like your invitations.
Hey Laura! Thanks so much for the feedback on my "whimsical bliss" design. I tried to change up the size of the flowers a bit but not sure it's enough. Also tried to add some spart to my design... would you mind taking a look to see if I'm headed in the right direction? Whenever you have time... :)
Laura, thank you so much for your kind comment. Such a nice reminder of what I love most about Minted–my fellow Minties!
Thank you for the sweet comment on "One Fine Day," Laura!
Thanks Laura! :)
Hi Laura, Just stumbled across your Meet a Mintie interview and loved it. It was fun to learn a bit about you and see some of your gorgeous designs. I really love your work. :) Monica
So good to see your beautiful work in the holiday challenge! Glad my rockstar friend is back at it! :) Hope your settling in well! Thanks for all the sweet compliments too - your opinion means a lot!
Hi Laura! Hope your move went smoothly + you're all settled in! Still bummed you're not in Hawaii anymore, but I'm happy for you that you're closer to family now. Great to see your gorgeous designs again! Your holiday cards are fantastic. I especially love Merry Bright & Sparkly! Your type treatment is absolutely amazing! Anyway, hope all is well with you - take care and see ya 'round! :)
Yay! How close will you be to Kansas City? I'm only 3 hours away. I'd love to get together! Best wishes on your move. I can't imagine that it would be super easy to move all your stuff off an island. :)
Aww, thanks Laura! It was so nice meeting you too! Yeah, I'm bummed you're leaving! It would be fun to do our own little unofficial Oahu Mintie meet ups from time to time. Maybe we'll have to do one again right before you leave! Haha, yes paints n brushes and the beautiful (sometimes) mess they make... I can't live without em! You have some gorgeous designs up here on Minted by the way! And I love the "painterly" touch you've brought to some of yours yourself, like Bougainvillea and Mixed Floral--I think that's quite an accomplishment in good graphic design, great job. And I LOVE your pop paisley design! And how funny you say that about screen printing at Linekona, because that class was literally the first artsy thing I signed up for last year when I got to the island!! Yeah it was great. I wouldn't mind taking it again sometime actually. I've been going to the Friday figure drawing group at Windward CC lately, enjoying it and enjoying meeting all the great artists there... Best of luck to you in these upcoming challenges as well! Hit me up too anytime, and let me know if you'd ever wanna come out and draw some Friday! :) cdreamerdesigns@gmail.com
Hi Laura, it was great meeting you at the Honolulu Meetup. Thanks for all the great tips and encouragement!
I'm sure that monogram will be a winner so you will probably have a chance to change it later if you want to. :) Thanks for the note. It's fun to have you back doing challenges!
Thanks for the encouragement Laura! So, THE founder is hosting this? Gulp. I will probably turn into a puddle of a mess, but I'll plan on being there - so, please don't base your opinion of me on that! :) Are you running in the Aloha Run by chance? My hubby and I will be running, so a super early morning for us. Must fit in a nap before the meet up. I am so looking forward to meeting you then!
Aloha Laura! Thank you so much for saying hello (I've totally been meaning to send a message to you since I noticed you were a fellow island-dweller, but I never got the courage to write. Thanks for breaking the ice!!). I'm so new to this and would LOVE to meet other Minties and get involved. I did see the meet-up scheduled, just wondered if it was okay for a total newbie to come... And thank you for your comment, I wish you luck on your entries as well!
Small world! I graduated from Advertising in 2002. How about you?
Hey Laura, I'm so glad that "Simple Scallop" won a special award. It was my absolute favorite in the competition!

Hi Laura. I just saw your beautiful entry "Cheerful Love and Joy" and wanted to mention that if you're intending to quote "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", the phrase should read "love and joy COME to you. Just mentioning it because your design is so lovely, but the phrase just felt a little off.
Thank you for the compliments!
Thanks for the feedback!
