Many of you have grown to love our products through the 300+ associates who work in nearly 50 store locations nationwide. These folks have introduced you to so many unique products and designs – but have you ever wondered who dreamt them up?
Our very own Chicago-based Design Team is behind the Paper Source exclusive products and designs you see in stores and on our website. This team may be small in numbers, but they are certainly big in ideas, handling everything from designing our invitation and stationery lines to dreaming up new kits and products to providing exceptional photography services.
Managing this talented group is Cindy Prangl, who has been developing our product offering since 2002. She worked closely with Paper Source Founder Sue Lindstrom to develop our original aesthetic and has been expanding the offering with the help of many talented designers.
To help you get to know the people behind the designs seen in our stores, we interviewed each of our designers to let you in on the memories, experiences and every day occasions that keep them inspired.
Check back daily as we post interviews with Karen, Alanna, Leslie, Malcolm and give you a behind-the-scenes look at our Crafts Team. It’s time for a glimpse inside Paper Source designs.
My dream job!
