and run with them
Leighwood Design Studio is a Phoenix-based wedding invitation designer with a knack for playful detail, vibrant color, and assertive typography.
We’re not “for” one kind of client. Have a clear-cut vision for your wedding stationery? Great. We’ll execute it. Know what you like and don’t like, but not much else? We’ll make magic together. Want someone who’ll take your “what if” ideas and run with them? That’s us.
Whether you choose a fully custom invitation suite or opt for our semi-custom designs, you can expect luxe paper, elevated finishings, and a personalized touch.
And while weddings are our bread and butter, we love designing paper for the rest of your life, too.
We celebrate love in all its forms, and we’d be honored to tell your unique story through paper.

The Leighwood Experience
Yes, your stationery has a job to do.
But that doesn’t mean it has to be run-of-the-mill.

ART-INSPIRED DESIGN
We look beyond paper for inspiration, drawing from art history, architecture, and fashion.

Complimentary Add-Ons
Every invitation suite comes with full envelope addressing, and we also enclose keepsake suites for flatlays and mementos.

TOUCHABLE FINISHES
Nothing elevates an invitation like texture, from vellum wraps and silk ribbons to glamorous wax seals.

Founder & Stationery Designer
When it comes to design, you might say I learned by doing. First as a Very Online teen who dedicated hours to crafting her webzines and MySpace profile, then as a visual merchandiser for a series of boutiques.
When planning my wedding. I decided to take charge of our wedding invitations and day-of paper goods. I quickly realized that stationery was more than just a project. It was a career.
Since 2016, I’ve been designing invitations alongside couples who know they want something more than the traditional 3-piece invitation suite—but who aren’t sure how to get from “here’s my Pinterest board” to “oh, I love this so much I’m going to frame it.”
When I’m not surrounded by Pantone books and swatches of paper in my studio, you’ll find me trying out new recipes from NYT Cooking or playing with my 2 kids. Our family of 4 recently relocated from St. Louis to Phoenix, Arizona to be closer to nature, and we love to hit the hiking trails on the weekend.
What Inspires Me
✔ Coffee table books about interior design
✔ Art Nouveau typography
✔ The natural world
✔ Impressionist paintings
✔ William Morris prints
✔ Antique shopping (I’ve never met a brass trinket I don’t like)
