After more than a decade of creative strategy and production, Whitney traded the fast-paced corporate world for a slower, more intentional rhythm with her family of five. Her approach is rooted in a simple appreciation for details — the kind you can feel in the weight of a card or see in the intentional curve of a hand-lettered stroke.

Now, as the Shopkeeper of Hardage Paper House, Whitney has a creative outlet that serves a purpose. "I saw an opportunity to bring a more personal, high-quality touch to my local community. Whether designing a new collection of stationery or selecting colors for a new product, my goal is to provide those thoughtful, elevated details that make a simple note feel like a gift."

When she isn't at the shop, Whitney is usually hiking Kennesaw Mountain with her beloved dog, Maple, baking sourdough bread for her friends or cheering on the sidelines of her children's sports endeavors.
