History

Established in 2006.

Owner, Kathy Marcelle, received a Bachelor of Science in Art, with a concentration in graphic design from the University of Wisconsin-​Madison. Upon graduation, she worked in corporate America as a package designer for Kraft Foods/​Oscar Mayer and then later as a freelance graphic designer at Mattel/​American Girl.

While at Kraft, she became engaged. She felt that as a graphic designer, there was no way that she could possibly order her invitations from one of those mass-​produced catalog companies. She had to design her own. When doing so, she fell in love with the process. As a result, Sugar Pear Design was born.

A passion for paper and typography leads naturally to stationery. Stationery that is unique in personality and style. Stationery that is simply understated.
