In 2012, after years of working as a furniture-maker, and making cards on the side for family, Paige took a career detour and started Carve Designs. As a young child, she lived in the mountains in southern New Mexico, and the wild, imaginative spirit of that place has never completely left her. The inspiration for most of Paige’s designs is nature, nature, nature! Luckily, there is plenty of nature in Vermont, so her design ideas are not too hard to come by. Many years ago, Paige had the good fortune of coming across Japanese Chiyogami paper. She couldn’t have predicted then the synergy between those beautiful designs, and the natural world that surrounds her now, but she is happy that it has all come together. Paige currently creates notecards, calendars, and prints.
