Trish Kinsella, Designer & Founder, Dauphine Press joins Inside Digital Design to discuss how she combines modern digital design and traditional letterpress. Trish manages a successful print shop creating beautifully handcrafted stationary, wedding invitations, cards, and more. Knowing the capabilities of her presses, Trish discusses how she brings the best of both worlds into her design. Although Trish has a background in graphic design and the digital design applications, she has a passion for the traditional look and feel of letterpress printing. Her work showcases this traditionalism with a very modern flair that can only be acheived using this printing method and, as she points out, creative paper choices that showcase the overall designs.
