Illumistae is art for lovers of the gothic, witchy, and whimsical. I create stationery and bookish goods for those who feel most at home in the night, in quiet libraries, and dwelling in the beauty of the spookier side of life.

My work is heavily inspired by gothic romance, witchcraft, folklore, horror, and everything magical. Each piece is produced by me in Montréal, Québec, Canada, and all of them are designed with care and intention. This originally began as a creative refuge after a difficult time in my life, and has now grown into an adventure I hope that others can enjoy alongside me. I hope that my work can help make each new day feel a little more enchanted.

Thank you for being here! Above all, thank you for your support for handmade art. It truly means more than I could ever put into words.
