I'm Just Mad About Chevron...

Lately I can't get enough of this bold pattern! An amazing rug, floor pattern, textile, wall paper or even a framed graphic print can really add a modern flare to your space. A great way to change up your look!
ENJOY :)

Creative Ways to Personalize Your Space

Custom art is a great way to add some personal decor to your everyday landscape. Just starting with a simple photo, whether it's one of your child's favorite things or somewhere memorable that you traveled, can be the beginning of something unique and custom to your space.

Wystar Design + Wystar Custom Invitations = Awesomeness!!

Things are happening - finally!

Wystar Design has a new look.  I've decided to merge both of my websites (worlds really) into one site of absolute awesomeness. We're in final stages of development and will be launching by the end of September.  

In the meantime, enjoy the new blog design and a preview of the website...

Y estamos de vuelta...

Every year I try and take a break from all the madness, and I keep winding back in Playa del Carmen.
Sitting under a palapa with margarita in hand and this breath-taking view...

Meet Lena Francine...


This retro birth announcement was designed with her hip parents in mind. Maybe some fun custom stationery needs to follow?

See you soon little Lena Bean :)

Tis' The Season...

This year I am thankful for all of my friends and family (who needed invitations, cards, and announcements) - Without them I would be lost (and wouldn't have anything to show on my custom site) - So in their honor, please accept this holiday offer.

For custom designed holiday cards, please contact me directly.

One Wedding... Two Receptions...

Wedding season has already begun at Wystar Design.  Here is the first of many pieces you will see over the next few months for my BFF Jen and her guy Randy. Obviously these pieces are close to my heart and will be extra awesome... Oh, did I mention I'm the MOH?

Chicago or New York?

Living in Chicago feeling nostalgic about New York?  Torn between two amazing towns?  This bride didn't have to decide...
I was thrilled to design a wedding shower invitation incorporating my two favorite cities.

I Love Thursdays!



Thursday night was monumental as we took 1st place against Chicken Wang. I don't think they knew how serious we were until we showed up "ready to roll" in our team shirts.

"No matter what happens over the next 365 days we will always be the Chicago Sport & Social Club Thursday Night 6:30 - 9:00 Winter Bowling League Champions...they can't take that away from us!"
