About Owl and Toad

Hi, I’m Jessica Miller, the owner of Owl & Toad, an art and stationery design studio based in sunny, Southern California. I’m inspired by nature, warm colors, and anything with a lot of texture. Most weekdays you’ll find me in my studio creating designs. On the weekends I’m usually roaming around taking pictures.
