Even as a child, I was drawn to color, textiles and design - sewing stuffed animals and sketching gowns for paper dolls. My desire to study Fashion Design took shape when I was accepted into Kent State University’s top-rated program. Although my final degree followed a different path, my education stayed firmly rooted in creativity.

When it came time to plan our wedding, I knew I wanted to prioritize stationery and day-of details in our budget. I thought back to prom dress shopping when they would write down what gown you bought and where you attended school, so no two people arrived in the same dress. I wanted the same care for our wedding: nothing that could be mistaken for someone else’s. I envisioned each piece reflecting who we are as a couple - personal, thoughtful and unmistakably ours.

Today, Ilario and I live in Tallmadge, Ohio with our three boys, daughter and cuddly cat. We love spending time outdoors as a family, eating and drinking local finds, and enjoying a lazy Sunday morning. By day, Ilario is a high school counselor and I run Baci full-time while keeping everyone where they need to be.
