We want to learn about YOU and your upcoming celebration, but we realize you might want to know a little about us too.  We are happy to share our story with you.


Momental Designs is a female owned and operated business that was founded by artist and entrepreneur, Kristy Rice, over two decades ago.  Watercolor imagery with our signature hand-painted detailing is our specialty (we like to think of ourselves as “The OG Custom Stationers”).  We believe the custom design process should not only result in stunning stationery, but also allow our clients the opportunity to delight in the experience working with our team.  Creating art is not just about the finished product, but rather the process, the thoughts and feelings it can evoke.

Before you even become a Momental Client, you will have the pleasure of speaking with the lovely Kelley.

Kelley possesses a degree in art education and also has extensive experience in customer service and has defined the exemplary service we offer at Momental. For Kelley, it is all about mastering the art of the experience and ensuring you know and feel just how much care is put into every detail, every conversation, every process.

Katie loves to pop into each client’s design process and work her magic to make every detail absolute perfection!

Steph came to us as a shy and quiet graphic designer who spent the first few years here as an invitation artist. Soon Steph’s many talents stretched beyond painting and assembling invitations, she moved into her role of managing our team of invitation artists and studio assistants. Her position requires an insane amount of patience, an unrelenting commitment to detail and a mind that can multitask without compromise. Steph is our go-to and makes it her passion to ensure every piece leaving the studio meets the highest expectation imaginable.
