Constantly a busy bee (if two companies weren’t enough!), Sacha also runs a sister stationery company, Squash U, an inventive and resourceful brand of wholesale invitations and design-your-own announcements and invitations website.
Sacha’s work has been featured in many national and local Chicago publications, including DailyCandy Chicago, Pop Sugar and Modern Bride.
