hello!

Hi Everyone! My name is Nole, and I love paper. I might even go so far as to say I have an addiction to paper, but I don’t see that as a bad thing.

I’ve always had a fondness for paper and design, but this fondness reached new heights during our wedding planning process as we researched letterpress and design options for our wedding invitations.  But now that the wedding has passed, I still can’t shake my small obsession with all the amazing paper out there. 

So, I’m hoping this blog will serve as a showcase for some of the really amazing designs and paper products out there — invitations, greeting cards, stationery, and others — as well as some of my favorite sources of design inspiration.

I hope you enjoy the blog!

Founded by Britt Rohr in 2014, Swell Press is a boutique design and letterpress company based in Los Angeles, inspired by the salt water, sunsets, and palm trees of coastal California. From one-of-a-kind wedding and event invitation suites to sleek and sophisticated stationery and business cards, every single piece that leaves Swell Press’ studio doors is a true, intricate and original work of art.

We embrace mixing old with new to create something unique. Something daring. Something inspiring. Something timeless. We love it all. Our taste is as eclectic as the clients we work with. Browse our gallery of custom wedding invitations here and view our collection of semi-custom suites here
