Hi there!

This is my Three By Sea.

I'm Nicole, the founder and creative talent behind Three By Sea. Join me on this adventure to get a creative business off the ground with a two-year-old underfoot and $40K in student loans hanging over my head!

Get to know the "real me" here.

In addition to creating for Three By Sea and Wide Sarcasm Sea, I also:

Blog ideas for creating a simpler, happier, more relaxed life, as well as share my journey into surface & pattern design. I'm in the process of reorganizing posts to simplify things, so bear with me!

Update my Facebook Fan page erratically.

Twitter random thoughts & fun links.

Sometimes add photos I take to my Flickr account.

Collect inspiration for the home on my Posterous and Tumblr pages.

Collect blog posts for The Creative Process.

Welcome to Three By Sea, a creative company promoting a life designed simple, happy, and relaxed. Currently I create and offer greeting cards, stationery, and hand-printed goods to enhance your life, your home, and your attitude.

Established in 2008, Three By Sea began as a "handmade for the home" shop with items inspired by the sea and coastal living. These days the focus is on hand-printed soft goods for the home, journals, and printable stationery sets. Plans to expand into other areas of surface design, including digitally-printed fabrics, are in the works.

In 2009, a new division of Three By Sea was created. Wide Sarcasm Sea began as a vague idea for funny, sarcastic greeting cards and finally became a reality last October. Other paper goods will be added in time, while continuing to create greeting cards that bring humor to those times when folks need to lighten up!

Along the way, I also have been asked to take on various graphic design projects, including logo design, invitations, announcements, business cards, etc. If you have an idea for a project, please feel free to email me and we can chat more about it!
