Paper Sushi | Production Designer

I worked with Paper Sushi for over 10 years, helping the brand grow from a small studio into a go-to destination for custom rubber stamps. Starting as a studio assistant in 2014 and stepping into the production designer role in 2022, I've worn many creative hats - from designing products to leading marketing strategy to keeping production running smoothly.

As the production designer, I created all custom stamp and stationery designs, collaborated directly with clients, and prepped production-ready files to ensure every engraving printed flawlessly. Beyond custom work, I also developed new product designs, published crafty blog posts, led social media and created branded email campaigns and automated flows via Mailchimp.

As the studio manager, I nurtured a 12k member VIP Facebook group, managed e-commerce listings, and handled customer outreach to secure new wholesale and bulk production clients. Along the way, I built systems to keep client files organized and reorders seamless.

This role was the perfect blend of design, marketing, production, and hands-on craftsmanship, giving me deep experience in branding, digital illustration, social strategy, and pre-production workflows across platforms like BigCommerce, Etsy, Faire, Amazon, and Minted.
