about me

Mary, Goldfinch Lettering

that's me, hi! ✿

Hi, I'm Mary.

I'm a Spokane-based illustrator and letterer who makes things by hand, one deliberate stroke at a time. My work lives at the intersection of whimsy and intention: custom illustrations, hand-drawn lettering, surface patterns, and logos that embody your passions. I work in color. I lean playful. I try to bring joy into every piece.

My favorite kind of project is the one that starts with "I have a vague idea..." we'll figure it out together. Custom prints, cheeky greeting cards, logos for small businesses I cheer for, one-of-a-kind commissions for that gift you've been agonizing over — bring it all to me.

Mary is so kind and professional! Replies right away and even got my gift shipped early to make my friend's birthday in time. My print is so great, even better than expected.

Goldfinch created a perfect custom print for me with one of my favorite quotes & a custom image based off of my vague ideas. She was very helpful to help come up with an image that worked perfectly going off of not much input from me! Seller communicated quickly and clearly as well.
