Aya Paper Co. was founded in 2019 by SaVonne Anderson, while she was working full time as a graphic designer at a NYC contemporary art museum. She was inspired by notes of encouragement received by friends and family over the years to create a line of stationery that brings an authentic sense of joy and celebration to life's daily moments.

As the Creative Director, SaVonne prioritizes creating high quality, sustainable products that represent the diverse Black experience.
