About The Desk Dragon
Stationery is a beautiful, functional, and — most importantly — tangible vehicle for communication and self-expression. As such, how our stationery looks and feels matters just as much as how well it serves its intended purpose. These are the literal pages of our life stories, and they deserve thoughtful, human design.
Here at The Desk Dragon, I design custom stationery for every occasion. Whether you’re planning a wedding or other event, shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts, or looking to elevate your own paper supply, I would be honored to help bring your stationery dreams to life.
Why “Fantasy-Infused”?
I believe there is magic (beauty, whimsy, delight) all around us, in the everyday moments as well as the milestone events that come once in a blue moon. My mission as a stationer, artist, and storyteller is to highlight that magic and make it visible on the page. Sometimes that means drawing on fantastical themes and imagery like fairy tales, castles, and — of course! — dragons. Other times, it simply means celebrating all the little things that make our lives meaningful.
Meet the Artist
Hi! I’m Kristine, a stationer, artist, modern calligrapher, and — above all — storyteller. From teaching ESL in central China to starting up my own art and stationery brand, my career has taken me across the globe (and back!) and through a range of professional roles. Along the way, I have been driven by a love for creative expression in all its many forms.
I am an avid fantasy reader, mystery lover, bullet journaler, cat mom, and K-drama fan. I have played the piano (casually) for almost as long as I can remember. My beverage of choice is coffee, except when it’s tea. I like my wristwatch like I like my memory-keeping — analog. And yes, you can pry my em dashes and Oxford commas out of my cold, dead hands.
Tell me a good story, and I’m yours.
Origin Story
I launched The Desk Dragon in October 2019, but at the time, the brand had nothing to do with stationery, calligraphy, or even art. Instead, I designed this website to house my freelance writing, editing, and virtual assistance services. Over the years, I branched out into podcast management, thought leadership ghostwriting, and other subsets of content marketing. It wasn’t until early 2024 that I added modern calligraphy and hand lettering to my business offerings.
In February 2025, I opened The Desk Dragon shop on Etsy, selling calligraphy-inspired stickers, stationery, and wall art. While that foundation remains a core inspiration for The Desk Dragon as a brand, my art style and focus have continued to evolve.
Today, my marketing services can be found over at kpikecreative.com. Here, at The Desk Dragon, I design original and custom stationery for events and personal use. My goal is to help you make memories tangible and to inspire you to infuse your life with more imagination, whimsy, and delight.
