About Kelly Schmidt

I’m a Vancouver-based freelance designer with a passion for chic, modern stationery design. Drawing inspiration from art, interior design, fashion and travel my elegant and sophisticated style features minimal typography and unexpected color palettes. I love to experiment with hand-painted textures, art and illustrations to create unique and meaningful work that celebrates life’s most special moments. I am so honored each and every time someone chooses my work to be a part of their story.

Oh shoot, I didn't realize that was one of the issues, but that makes sense that it's tough to find photos that match the colors in A! I just really love those colors and it looks so great as is. Don't forget that you'll be able to make numerous colorways so you could have more muted options to reach more consumers. Either direction you go, it's a great design, good luck!!
