Stationery School is the ongoing education you need to grow your business, whether you're still side-hustling, or you're a full time designer!

You're never fully done learning. As our industry grows and changes, you should grow and change with it. Get honest, proven, and easy-to-digest lessons from successful stationers, plus weekly Motivation and Walkthrough emails from me!

Ready to take this stationery thing seriously?

Curious if how you're running things is "the right way" or makes any sense at all?

Wondering where everyone else is finding these dream invitation clients? 

Knowing where you want to be in 5 or 10 years, but not totally sure how to get there?

Struggling to find time to take your business seriously?

Investing in tons of education that you never finish, because it's all just too much?





Is this you?

I've listened to the same lessons a million times, and written about 117 (no joke) blog posts that did nothing for my business because that's what you were "supposed" to do. Let's stop making this harder and holding all of our knowledge hostage. 

Raise your hand if you're ready for running a stationery business to feel easy and fun!

Been there, done that. 

An online educational membership created just for Invitation Designers - to grow your art and design skills, and improve on all the boring business stuff too! 

Stationery School is full of bite-sized tutorials and easily-digestible, no-fluff lessons so you can learn a new skill while sipping coffee or up your business savvy during lunch hour!

Netflix for Stationers

I'm a self-taught invitation designer who's helped thousands of creatives learn the ins and outs of running a successful art business. Together, we can elevate the stationery industry, make it fun, and spend time doing what we love to do - creating.

And while you're focusing on your art, I'd like to focus on teaching you to make money and meet huge milestones in your business.

Hey, Hi, Hello!

I’m Laney, stationery designer and educator of Design by Laney where we help people start successful stationery businesses.

When does my membership start? +

Your membership begins the moment you sign up! You'll receive access to the full lesson bank, all emails remaining that month, plus any other membership perks (that month's trend report for example). You will not receive emails that have already been sent that month.

Can I canel anytime?+

Yes! If you've paid for a year, you will still have access to all content until the end of your paid subscription. Monthly members can cancel anytime.

Will this apply outside of the US? +

There may be certain parts of the content that don't apply outside of the US, but the majority of the skills will be applicable anywhere in the world. Email me if you have questions!

What if I'm just starting out? +

No problem! And yay for you! The courses will not be catered toward extreme beginners, but we have the Stationery Biz Kickstarter Bundle as an add-on option to help you get your business set up and handle basic Stationery concepts! Click here to see what's in the Bundle! We also have a full-on beginner stationery design course called From Start to Suite!

FS2S vs Stationery School?? +

From Start to Suite is a foundational course that will take you through modules in a cohesive manner that builds on itself as it goes. You’ll start with business topics and move through design and production from beginning to end. It’s designed with true beginners in mind. I like to think of Stationery School as “continuing education” for stationers. It includes shorter standalone lessons on lots of topics, and you can “choose your own adventure”. Most lessons assume a certain level of knowledge about the industry. In my (totally unbiased) opinion, From Start to Suite is perfect for true beginners, and then Stationery School is a good way to keep learning after you’ve taken From Start to Suite! Or a good place to dive in if you’re already familiar with the workings of a stationery business. I’m always happy to answer questions about the options and help guide you to what is best for your situation!

FAQs

What people are saying...

"I found myself taking pages pages of notes, rewatching sections, and making immediate changes to my business to maximize efficiency (and therefore, money!). Laney gets that time is valuable, and I appreciated how much information is packed into each segment. She doesn't tell you *what* to think, but *how* to think about your stationery business. She teaches you to figure out what works for you, and she manages to teach this in a way that is not vague, but immediately actionable. Business changing, for sure!"


"The Motivation Monday emails really hit the spot. It's like she's reading my mind and knows exactly what I need to be hearing. Mindset is half the battle! The Walkthrough Wednesday emails truly cover topics I wouldn't expect to get in email format. I pulled valuable information from each one I got...I identify as a intermediate stationery designer as I just started designing invitations this year but an advanced business owner. I love that the upcoming topics will cover a wide range of information, and I believe there are always nuggets of information within any course regardless of what stage of business you are in."
