Grab a cup of coffee and get cozy

Welcome to my Artsy-Bookish Nook

Where the best stories don't start with "once upon a time". They start with a child who can't put the book down.

For me, it was a lunch break I never wanted to end. While other kids played outside, I was already halfway to the library, already reaching for the next shelf: Peter Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, My Friend the Vampire... I didn't just read those stories — I lived inside them. I borrowed the books, but I kept the feeling.

That feeling never left...

Years later, I became an artist. And the first things I ever made were hand painted bookmarks — because of course they were. I couldn't stop weaving stories into everything I touched. Eventually that grew into something bigger — a small shop with art and bookmarks made for people who live inside stories, just like I still do.

So if you've ever lost track of time in a bookshop, or read the last page and just... sat with it for a while — you're in the right place. This is made for you.

Hey there ;)

My name is Jennifer, the human, artist, and homebody of this creative space. My passion is creating functional and unique paper goods inspired by books, nature and the unique characteristics of each season. Every piece is designed and hand painted by me in Puerto Rico ♥

Here are some of the things that I'm into right now:

Current Read

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins

TBR & DNF Shelf

TBR: The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez

DNF: Every Summer After by Carley Fortune. I wanted to love it but the pacing is just too slow for me.

Preferred Art Medium

Watercolor & Gouache

Favorite hot drink

Just a strong puerto rican coffee with foamy oatmilk for me please!

Favorite genre

I actually don't have a favorite. One day I can be reading a romcom and the next day I can be reading a manga (I just love the illustrations and the dialog panels). Also, this changes a bit with the seasons, for example: in the fall I love reading spooky books and cozy romance. In the summer I enjoy romance readings taking in place in beachy destinations.

Favorite format to enjoy books

I just love physical analog books paired with a cozy bookmark that matches its vibe. I do have an e-reader, but to be honest I don't use it as much. My other favorite format is audiobook.

Favorite bookish accesory

My favorite accesory will always be bookmarks in any shape, form and style.

The process of art creation & product design

From paper to products

Most of the pieces I design start with a hand-painted watercolor or gouache brush stroke. While some are painted by me digitally in Procreate. It's important to know that every art is originally created 100% by me, without ever using AI. Get to know each step of the process below:

Step 1

Sketch the initial idea, choose the color palette, and start the painting process, either using traditional or digital methods.

Step 2

Digitize and clean artwork in Photoshop if it was made traditionally. If not, I go straight into the product design process.

Step 3

The final step is the production phase. Some products, like bookmarks and pins, are produced in my home studio in small batches. Others, like stickers and sticker sheets, are manufactured by outside printers.
