Monadnock Paper Mills
I am the contract designer/design director for Monadnock Paper Mills, I have been working with them since 2007 at my first agency job (wow!). We worked so well together that they became my first client when I opened Blossom Creative in 2012. Over the years, I have become an integral part of their marketing team.
I have designed everything and anything you could possibly think of for them - the list to the right covers a lot of it, but some are too complex to list in a bullet point. Our project total is too many to count, but my estimate is somewhere between 400 and 450 (excluding the 5 years I worked with them through the agency!).
I have managed all brand assets, created new, creative collateral and evolved the brand through the years keeping the brand cohesive, relevant and fresh while adhering to strict brand guidelines.
Monadnock makes the highest quality papers on the market, which means I get to design using the highest quality paper to print on. My partnership with them has given me extensive knowledge in the realm of fine printing and how to design for it. I have had the privilege of designing for graphic designers, marketers and major brand owners, so I have the opportunity to be as creative as possible to show fellow creatives and the world’s best brands what’s possible with ink on paper. I owe much of my growth as a designer to having worked with them over the years!

Label samples
When Monadnock releases a new line or grade of papers, they need real samples to show customers how well the papers print and hold up to the demands of the real world. We develop fictitious brands that speak to the markets we’re talking to and create physical samples to support sales efforts.
Swatch Books
A library of sample books that show all grades and stock information for designers and printers to keep as references. Each line of paper has a swatch book. These books also double as print demonstrations, and showcase different printing techniques, creative uses of conventional printing, and information for printing on Monadnock’s papers.
