About Me:

"Since I was a little girl, for hours on end I would sit on the floor drawing. I was always making something for someone. It has been my true love and passion in life.

In Fall of 1999 I attended art & design school at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester New York. In 2003 I finished with a Minor in Art History, an associates degree in Illustration and a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Design.

After graduation I settled down in my home town Buffalo, New York and started a family. The birth of my son inspired me to send out handmade birth announcements to friends and family. I wanted to show how special my son's birth was with a one of a kind announcement. The response I received was overwhelming.

As I created more cards and received one compliment after another, praise quickly changed to a career suggestion. I had found a career that pushed my creative abilities and aloud me to stay home with my children.

Ry Stephens Design was created in hopes of changing the greeting card industry to where it should be. Quality stationery that is made with inspiration and love instead of a print shop somewhere.

My mission is to add that personal touch that I have always desired, to every card I create. I hope to express your joy, gratitude and admiration to those you love with class and elegance".
