Aya Paper Co.

The Gift Bar is here! 💝✨ Since launching Aya Paper Co. I always struggled with the decision open up a Brick & Mortar location. We do so well at markets and events, and have a thriving wholesale program, but taking the risk of opening up our own space has always felt too big. Well this season, I took the leap of faith to test out a retail space of our own in the Columbus Circle Holiday Market! The days and weeks leading up to this have been exhausting but the pride I felt when I looked up to see it all completed was so worth it 🥲 We will be here all month, so please stop by and tell a friend too!

✨ Celebrate the Season with Love & Connection ✨ This holiday season, Aya Paper Co. is proud to present our 2024 Holiday Collection!

Not to brag, but Aya Paper Co.’s activations are top tier! Last month, we hosted an Inspiration Station at BaddieCon NYC where all the Tech Baddies could write a note of inspiration to their future self (or a friend!) We designed custom postcards with the Baddies in Tech branding, crafted intentional prompts, and even brought stamps and a mailbox for everyone to drop their Aya mail off. It was honestly so much fun to host and the smiles in this video tell how much the guests enjoyed it too ☺️ They were so happy to have an intentional space carved out for them to reflect and process their experience at the conference. Thank you Allie Joy Tsahey for allowing us to bring this idea to life! So excited to see what events and conferences we get to host our Inspiration Station at next 💫

"The challenges facing women in the business world are well documented. Persistent stereotypes lead to invidious discrimination. The old-boy network protects its members. Access to capital can be limited. Competing demands often create self-doubt... And yet so many make it work" So true! And what an honor it is to be seen and recognized as one of the many women in the Garden State who are figuring it out despite the odds stacked against us. Thank you to NJBIZ for recognizing me as one of the 40 women "In the Lead" this year! https://lnkd.in/gjTxXpCc

I have been a long-time listener of the Female Founder World Podcast—it's one of my favorites to hear stories, find resources, and get advice from successful women entrepreneurs. So when I was invited by Jasmine Garnsworthy to be interviewed about my experience as the founder of Aya Paper Co., it was an easy "Yes"! This is the most in-depth interview I've done about my journey building an industry-disrupting gift company: the challenges, the big wins, and my vision for our future. Give it a listen and let me know what you think! https://lnkd.in/eVUpUX37  

Journaling can be a great way to unwind from the stress of your day and set your intentions for the next. I talked to SaVonne Anderson from Aya Paper Co. about her intentions to grow her sustainable stationery business into a national brand as the shop celebrates its fifth anniversary! 🎉 Only 50% of businesses make it that long, and only 3% of Black, women-owned businesses. Congratulate SaVonne on this amazing accomplishment and check out her journals in our shop. Read more about SaVonne and Aya Paper Co. on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gZmvtpNq
