About Laura Hankins

Hi! I'm Laura, a designer/illustrator, mother and wife. Fittingly enough I fell in love with stationery design while creating my own wedding invitations. Simply put I like all things pretty- flowers, fashion and textiles bring me endless inspiration.

Hi Laura, thanks so much for taking the time to give me your thoughts on my "Nice Doggy" submission – not annoying in the least! You gave me a lot to think about, and I really did like that line, so I think I'll work to fit it in again. I tend to overcomplicate things design-wise (so many ideas!) and that rarely works out, so when someone says, "maybe lose it," I try to listen :) Thanks again, and have a great remainder of the week!
