Original illustrations, cheeky sentiments and a bit of whimsy—these paper works are designed with love.

The Beautiful Project was established in 2005 by graphic artist, illustrator and web designer, Jeannette Ordas. Her work is inspired by her love of all things vintage and cute, from 1950’s cookbooks to textiles and typography.
