About Amber Favorite

Amber Favorite studied graphic design in college, and was introduced to letterpress printing in a typography class. She was instantly smitten. The beautiful, antique machinery, the individual letters, the smell of ink – it was magic! During college, she designed for an agency, and afterward, I became a Senior Designer at a corporate paper company. Restless and always wanting to work for herself, Favorite started freelancing. However she didn’t like the feast or famine finances of freelance so to help, she found a job at a stationery shop. She learned of community letterpress classes and enrolled, volunteered, and spent as much time as possible learning letterpress and fine-tuning her craft. Favorite always had a passion for design and typography; letterpress printing became a magical, creative world filled with both. She quickly learned people liked her style so Favorite created a line of greeting cards & stationery. She officially created a. favorite design in 2005 and in June of 2007, acquiring a 1913 C & P handfed press; she hasn't looked back since, and within months she stopped working a retail job, and started working full-time on a. favorite design.
