I’m Jess, aka Magpie, and I’m so happy you’re here!

You may be wondering, who is this Magpie character?

Well, I’m an explorer, a designer, a photographer, a collector of shiny things, a lover of people and animals, a wife, a big sister, a chocolate addict, a giggler, and a klutz.  I believe peanut butter and bananas were made for one another.  I wear flip flops year round.  I hike.  I think the guy who invented bubble wrap was a mad genius.  I love to play in the kitchen.  (Ask me about my latest creation: chocolate chip bacon cookies!) I share studio space with my left-handed husband. I find inspiration in the handmade and in the patterns, colors and whimsy of vintage design.

In 2009, I started my own design studio, Magpie Paper Works.  I ♥ creating authentic and whimsical wedding invitations that reflect your totally awesome, shout-it-from-the-mountaintops love.  (More about that here!)

My work has been featured in popular blogs and publications including Style Me Pretty, Ruffled, Once Wed, Snippet & Ink, 100 Layer Cake, Australian Wedding Style Guide, and more.

I’d love to work with you to create something totally amazing, so let’s chat, Darling! The sky is the limit!
