Heidi Charles is a central-valley based graphic designer, and owner/designer of Ann Rae Paperie. After graduating from The Art Institute of Portland in 2001, she began working and gaining experience in the field. Heidi started her own studio in 2005, eager to learn and refine her passion for design craftsmanship. She quickly realized that her tendency toward elegance and time-honored traditions (modern simplicity) inspired her to weave her understanding of graphic design, color theory, and personal relationships with the intricacies of contemporary correspondence.

The most important aspect of Heidi’s creativity is to help her clients bring their visions to a tangible reality. Whether it is the excitement of a perfectly put together wedding invitation or a small-business startup seeing their brand for the first time, the lure of graphic design can inspire, motivate, and capture hearts and minds.

Heidi’s inspiration was born hand-crafting and sewing her own wedding invitations and capturing the essence of event stationery of close friends and family. She was captivated by the ability to take life’s most special moments and create and represent the excitement through the printed word and design. Through the use of brisk creativity, perfectly matched colors, and inspirational design, Heidi Charles can transform your idea, your event, or your brand into something to be truly proud of.
