Award-winning gift and lifestyle brand, Shannon Martin | Girl Designer, will celebrate its 10-year anniversary in the specialty stationery and gift industry this May. 

From a single 48-pocket display launched at the National Stationery Show in 2005, with cards featuring Shannon’s own family photos and signature warm wit, the Shannon Martin | Girl Designer brand has grown into a comprehensive collection including stationery, personal care, travel, holiday, cocktail and general gift items. Sold in specialty retailers as well as select national accounts, Shannon Martin has made a notable impact on the industry over the past decade. “I love hearing how people warmly relate to the vintage family photos,” Shannon Martin said. “Community is the most important thing in the world to me, so it’s delightful (and an honor) to recreate special moments and help keep treasured memories alive.”

The Shannon Martin | Girl Designer collection took shape after a meeting with Brian Jacobsen and Glen Biely, co-presidents of The Madison Park Group, who have been partners with Shannon from the beginning. “We are thrilled to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of our partnership with Shannon Martin | Girl Designer,” Biely said.

Shannon Martin | Girl Designer will be kicking off its 10th anniversary celebration at the National Stationery Show, booth 2702, at Jacob Javits Center in New York City, May 17-20. In addition to launching a number of new products, including all-occasion greeting cards, thank you notes from her BoHo Collection and brand new manicure sets, Shannon Martin also has three cards selected as finalists in the 27th annual LOUIE Awards.
