Engagement Invitation for Amiélle and John

Calligraphy and Graphic Design

I was delighted to design this invitation for Amiélle and John. They have a heartwarming story and I wanted to reflect that in the invitation. Upon first meeting Amiélle, she introduced me to Paper 4 HumanKind, a company in South Africa founded by her friend Katie Passetti, who had recently passed away. When I told Amiélle about my passion for sustainability, she was kind enough to give me some of their handmade paper, beautifully crafted using ancient techniques. Later, when I had the opportunity to design this invitation for their engagement party, it was natural to incorporate the paper to honor the memory of Katie.

I applied a watercolor wash, then scanned it in to preserve the texture of the natural fibers.

Amiélle continues Katie’s message of kindness and compassion through her organization I am 4 Humankind.
