Good on Paper is based on the creative ambition of Lisa Wong Jackson, a self-taught graphic designer in Berkeley, CA. In addition to her custom wedding invitations and designs, her unique stationery line includes hand screenprinted notecards, little books (birthday books, shopping books, gift giving books), note pads, sticky notes sets, as well as a line of cards printed on high quality recycled paper using vegetable-based inks. Her clean and simple designs are inspired by nature, music, organic designs, animals, line drawings, and Pixel, her beloved Boston Terrier.
