ABOUT

                              

HI!  I’M LISA GARLAND . . . MIDWEST DWELLER, OCEAN DREAMER, PAPER LOVER, CARD MAKER, CAT-OBSESSED, DOODLER FOR LIFE.  

I AM ALSO THE ILLUSTRATOR + DESIGNER (AND OVERALL ONE-WOMAN-SHOW) BEHIND DOODLEGIRL DESIGNS, A SMALL, MODERN STATIONERY COMPANY BASED IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. 

THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS SMALL, BUT MIGHTY, BRAND IS TO HELP CONNECT PEOPLE THROUGH EVERYDAY LIFE.  OUR OFFERINGS ARE SIMPLE + THOUGHTFUL + RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY EVERYONE. 

I HAVE LIVED IN MANY PLACES OVER THE YEARS, FROM THE BEACH TO THE MOUNTAINS, FROM BIG CITIES TO SMALL TOWNS, BUT REGARDLESS OF WHERE I'VE BEEN, KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH THOSE I LOVE + MISS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PRIORITY.  I LOVE THE ART OF THE HANDWRITTEN NOTE AND OFTEN CHOOSE SNAIL MAIL OVER PHONE CALLS.  THERE IS SOMETHING SO PERSONAL ABOUT PUTTING PEN TO PAPER AND CONNECTING WITH OTHERS IN A VERY SIMPLISTIC WAY.  PAIRING MY FONDNESS FOR LETTER-WRITING AND MY LOVE FOR DOODLING, DOODLEGIRL DESIGNS WAS BORN.

WE HAVE GROWN QUITE A BIT OVER THE YEARS.  WHAT ONCE STARTED AS A HANDFUL OF HAND-DRAWN (AND HAND-PAINTED!) GREETING CARDS HAS EVOLVED INTO OVER 150 ORIGINAL CARD DESIGNS, IMPRINTED PENCILS, STICKERS, BOOKMARKS, WALL ART, MAGNETS, PINS, POCKET MIRRORS AND ONE-OF-A-KIND ART PIECES.  

EACH PURCHASE YOU MAKE HELPS US NOT ONLY GROW OUR BUSINESS, BUT ALSO OUR DREAM.

ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING SNAIL MAIL ENTHUSIASM SINCE 2009.
