✦ Austin's Favourite Print Studio ✦
Lena's Paper & Press is a garage-born print studio in Austin, Texas — crafting custom stationery, bold event posters, and beautiful branding for the people who make this city special.
Every project is made with care, not a template — because your story deserves something real.
✦ Featured Work ✦
A full stationery suite for an East Austin outdoor wedding — invitations, RSVP cards, menus, and place settings on luxe cotton paper with letterpress florals. Clients called it "exactly us." Printed and assembled by hand in the studio.
Starting at $480
A complete visual identity for a South Congress craft brewery — logo design, business cards, tap labels, and coaster print runs. Designed to feel like Austin on a warm Friday night. Still one of my favourite local collabs.
Starting at $850
A run of six limited-edition gig posters for local Austin musicians performing at outdoor venues. Risograph-style prints on kraft stock — bold, textured, and collectible. Sold out at the door on opening night.
Starting at $220/run
✦ About ✦
Lena's Paper & Press started the way a lot of good things do in Austin — in a garage, with a secondhand printer, and way too much ambition. I'm Lena, and I've been designing and printing custom work right here in Austin, Texas for the people who live, create, and hustle in this city. What began as a side project making wedding invitations for friends has grown into a full print studio I run from home — and every single piece that leaves my hands has been touched by me personally.
My clients are small business owners, wedding couples, musicians, baristas, chefs, and makers — people who care deeply about how their brand looks and feels. I care about it too. I don't do generic templates or cookie-cutter designs. I sit down with every client, learn their story, and make something that actually represents them. That's the whole point.
I believe print still matters. A beautifully made business card or a hand-finished menu tells your customer something a website can't — that you take pride in what you do, down to the last detail. My job is to translate that pride into something tangible that people can hold, keep, and remember.
I keep my studio intentionally small so I can give every project real attention. I'm not the biggest shop in Austin, and I don't want to be. I want to be the one you trust — the one whose work you recognize, and whose name you pass along to a friend when they need something made with care. That's the business I'm building, one printed piece at a time.
Made with hands.
Made in Austin.

✦ Kind Words ✦
★★★★★
"Lena did our entire wedding stationery suite and I still have guests asking where we got our invitations. She listened to everything we wanted — the wildflower theme, the kraft paper, the hand-letterpressed feel — and delivered something beyond what I could have imagined. Working with a local made it feel so personal and easy. Absolutely worth every penny."

★★★★★
"As a small brewery just getting off the ground, we needed branding that felt authentic to South Congress — not corporate, not generic. Lena designed our logo, tap labels, business cards, and even our coasters. The whole thing looks like us, and customers comment on it constantly. She's an absolute gem and we'll be using her for everything going forward."

★★★★★
"I needed gig posters for a summer residency and Lena turned them around so quickly without sacrificing any quality. The risograph feel she gave them was exactly what I was picturing — bold, warm, collectable. They sold out at the merch table before the show even ended. I've already booked her for my next series. If you're a musician in Austin, she's the one."
