spending time with my family
As early as five years old, I began meticulously placing stickers I’d been given on the front of my bedroom dresser. My mom may or may not have been furious, but that dresser became my place for preserving and organizing my collection.
Around age 10, I remember creating place cards for each person’s seat at family dinners. Even then, I was drawn to the purpose of a place setting. The smallest details felt meaningful.
When I got my first job at 16, nearly every paycheck was invested in craft stores. I was drawn to tactile papers and began hoarding the ones I loved for “special” projects. I was fascinated how the weight of paper and quality of materials could elevate a design.
After graduating high school, I found myself drawn to the wedding industry, exploring event planning and even dabbling in floral design. To make it official, I earned a meeting and event planning certification. But I soon realized that what I loved most in that industry was the designing and creating with my hands. Even the smallest details can shape the greater aesthetic of an event and for me, paper has always been the perfect medium for bringing my creativity to life.

Salt + Pine Press was born from that lifelong connection to paper, texture, creativity, and detail. Every piece is designed, foil-pressed, and assembled by hand, with the same heart I’ve always given the things worth preserving.
Your milestones are important to me. Each piece is created with the hope that it will be kept as an heirloom and shared for generations, becoming part of the story your family is just beginning to write.
About the Press
Individually foil-pressed by hand
At Salt + Pine Press, the press is where paper, heat, pressure, and foil come together by hand. Each foil-pressed piece is carefully printed in-house by Kylee, one impression at a time.
There’s something special about working this way.
Every impression carries subtle variations that make the finished piece feel tactile, personal, and unique. Those small details are a reminder that it was made by hand, especially for you.
