cheeky paper co began as my senior project as a creative advertising student at the university of miami. i used to get in trouble for daydreaming during class, and now those daydreams have come to life and put a smile on people’s faces. i repurposed my childhood doodles and created a whole world of whimsy. i produced notebooks, enamel pins, patches, and more.

my first year as a post-grad (may 2019-may 2020) was a year of experimentation-- a year to prove to myself that cheeky did make people smile and there was room for it in the world. i moved across the country to los angeles and spent my weekends packing my car with tables, chairs, and displays to sell my products at local markets of all sorts. i discovered that when total strangers approached my table they began to smirk -- and not only because my adorable dog was by my side.

cheeky is a product of so much love. i wouldn’t have been able to create my small business without the support of my professors in school, my family cheering me on, and my friends spending late nights at photoshoots and packaging orders with me. there is so much more to come from cheeky and i can’t wait to share my imagination with you all.
