Our Story


Paper Epiphanies, affectionately called PiPH, is a card, art, and gift brand that celebrates the wild rebellion of women and their powerful presence in the world.

Our mission is in our name. e-piph-a-nies: “aha moments, sudden realizations that change the rest of the story”. We — women — can suddenly change the story (history, even). Often, with just a simple note. Women are a force and with the right words and support, we have the power to strike inspiration in ourselves and others. PiPH is here to write those words.

We create, curate, and ideate products and stores that tell real stories. And sometimes, change them. We’re provocative in the very best way, refusing to settle for trite messaging or stuffy designs. We encourage bold, authentic conversations. We shine a light on women and their creations. We pour heart, humor and authenticity into our brand to create products and experiences that speak volumes.

History of PiPH

2014

Seeing the need for beautiful cards that spoke the truth, Victoria started Paper Epiphanies in the dining nook of her one-bedroom rental in Santa Monica, CA. For the first few years, she printed every single card individually on a Vandercook Letterpress. Today, the company prints in-house on high volume Heidelberg Windmill presses.
