Our Story
Southern Charm Meets City Style
Timeless Paper encompasses luxurious personal touches that reflect the down-home southern charm of designer Emily Arrison. She moved from a small farm community in Arkansas to Philadelphia to capture her dream of being an artist and designer.
Emily earned her B.A. in graphic design from Ouachita Baptist University and her M.A. in publications design from the University of Baltimore, where she gained a reputation for being passionate about design with a mission to create tasteful pieces of art in everything she touches.
With her natural talent, creative eye, and love for paper, Emily built a company specializing in paper cutout place cards, table numbers, menu cards, and wedding programs. Her idea stemmed from hand cutting and hand painting place cards for a party with friends — and it grew from there.
Emily's husband Michael joined Timeless Paper to help manage the business and web presence. A teacher at heart, Michael earned B.A. degrees from Bucknell University in computer science and music.
