About Katie Vaz Design

Katie Vaz Design is a stationery brand that specializes in hand-lettered + illustrated paper goods that say something real. Do you ever feel something emotionally, but can’t ever find the right words to say it? That’s Katie. She's terrible at talking about her feelings, but not terrible at writing them down on paper. When it comes to her greeting card line, her art captures the sugary sweet, awkward but funny, sometimes emotionally heavy things we all want to say to the people we care about. If you want to say something special and real, Katie's cards have got you covered. Katie is an illustrator and author based in Upstate New York. She lives with her husband, their dog named Tater, and their cat named KittenFace. She's illustrated and authored 4 books so far, with two more on the way. The most recent was an illustrated memoir called My Life In Plants. Katie also works as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer on a variety of print, packaging, and branding projects. Her work has been featured on BuzzFeed, Book Riot, Elephant Journal, Real Simple, Woman's Day, and in Stationery Trends Magazine. Katie particularly loves plants, traveling to new places, and cooking and baking (her current obsession: macarons). She's inspired by whimsical details in nature, mid-century design and illustration, and the ordinary moments of life.Read their story
