About Lea Delaveris

Before my life as a wife, mom and stationery designer, I spent 10 years in newspaper design. My work tends to be sweet and simple, and I love when I can throw in a spark of personality or humor. I also love the creative outlet and community that Minted is, and I’m so happy to be a part of it.

Hi Lea. Thanks for spotting that something looked off-center in my Luxe design, I agree. But I checked and everything was aligned correctly. I just outlined all the type and made a editable copy of it on the side because it never looks right unless you do that somehow ;-) Thank you for the heads up!
