Weddingbee PRO

Hi! I'm Sarah, the printer and designer behind Parrott Design Studio, specializing in custom letterpress and screen printed wedding and event invitations, stationery, and paper goods. As a long-time fan of Weddingbee, I am overjoyed to be joining the amazing group of PROs here! I look forward to sharing my designs, inspiration, and the inner-workings of my studio. But first, a bit about me!

I grew up in Portland, Maine, and I have always had an affinity for the ocean, mountains, birds, gardening, and the simple life. I have loved art all of my life - drawing, printmaking, painting, making books, sewing, and art history.

With a background in non-profit marketing and art history, I began the Parrott Design Studio (under my former name -Things Are Better With a Parrott) in 2006 in my small apartment in Providence, RI. With a love for printing-making, but no space, I bought a gocco and began printing note cards and personal stationery. Since then I have moved to a studio built by my fiancé, and acquired a Golding Jobber letterpress and have been printing ever since. I am so happy to have found two beautiful, simple ways to create well-made, hand-crafted goods to share.

When I am not printing, I can be found with my fiancé and pup, Simone, playing outside and traveling this way and that.
