ABOUT

Paper Pony's eco-friendly greeting cards, gift wrap and art prints feature whimsical illustrations for every occasion. Sometimes we make other fun things like pins and stickers and stationery.

ADORABLY MOODY | EST. 2015

Ponies by nature are temperamental and feisty. They may be cute, but there’s always an element of surprise. Our own style is inspired by this sense of spirit. Created by Talia Gavish, our products are locally printed on FSC certified recycled paper. We only partner with manufacturers who uphold our standard of quality and ethics. 

TALIA'S STORY

In 2015, I moved across the country from Brooklyn, NY to Oakland, CA. Having lived my whole life in NY - minus a few years of college at RISD - I needed a change. It was an impulsive decision and I didn't think my career as a print and textile designer would come to an end. Want to be a UX designer? Move to the Bay Area. Want a full time job with benefits in the fashion industry? Stay in NYC. To say I panicked is an understatement. I have always turned to art, nature, and horses as forms of therapy and social interaction. Paper Pony is inspired by those outlets and began as a way to reconnect to a creative lifestyle. I now live in Berkeley, California with my husband, Mike and our adorably moody daughters, Sasha and Naomi.

TALIA'S CATS

One half of our creative mews, Momo, passed away quite suddenly just before his 15th birthday. He leaves behind his sister, Meeka and my broken heart. 

BUSINESS TO BUSINESS

In order to focus more on my family life and personal work, Paper Pony will primarily be a wholesale company from now on. I'm currently very overwhelmed with all the hats I wear to run this small business! I envision that this change will better enable me to provide customer service to our retailers as well as grow our product line.
