hi, i'm eugenie

Here's my story:

Eugenie McLellan is a graphic designer with a whimsical, yet refined aesthetic. Eugenie’s custom-designed offerings include wedding invitation suites, save the dates, party invitations, personal and professional stationery, and an array of paper accessories ranging from notepads to table numbers.

A photographer turned graphic designer, Eugenie studied graphic design at Loyola University in New Orleans and worked at Scriptura for five years, where she developed a deep love and reverence for stationery—a beautiful Old World practice still used in a modern-day context. Eugenie’s expertise in the art of traditional stationery allows her to create classic designs with a contemporary twist, conveyed through custom typography, theme, vintage artwork, and hand-illustration.

Having been born, raised, and educated in New Orleans, Eugenie’s work speaks to the energy, voice, and traditions of a complex and wonderful city while additionally celebrating the beauty of it’s natural surroundings.
