Shorthand
Press is the love child of Erin
Healy, a writerly type based in NYC,
and a few of her fascinations: 1) anything
to do with words – most recently,
a shorthand dictionary discovered in
a thrift shop; 2) our collective habit
of conveying emotionally laden things
in abbreviated, symbolic ways (aka: the
human condition); and 3) the daily miracle
of cards sent and received by real live
mail.
Erin’s career as a Maker of Things and Captain of Industry began in December of 2005, with the launch of her first collection of cards and t-shirts.
This line of goods features Gregg Shorthand, created by John Robert Gregg, an Irishman who emigrated to America in 1893.
Plans for more unique, word-centric goods are in the works, so please stay tuned as we unveil new products and ideas designed to help all of us stay better connected.
