Honored by Philadelphia magazine as Best of Philly 2012 for Custom Stationery, the small, dedicated team behind Curious & Co. Creative aims to provide elegant and original design work for local brands and businesses across the US. Co-owner and graphic designer Brooke Forry recently took time to share details on her company’s background with us.
“Curious & Co. is a graphic design studio owned by three women with a penchant for identity, stationery and web design. Started out of a desire to support local businesses in the Philadelphia area with strong identity design, Curious & Co. has evolved into a national design firm with partners on both coasts.”
Brooke continued, explaining, “Much of our focus is still on medium and small businesses who recognize the importance of good design in marketing and sales efforts, but we also love creating stationery for the masses, which is what led us to set up shop on Goodsie. We look forward to continuing to add more colorful pieces to our shop in the near future.”
Our favorite item from Curious & Co. is the Sweet Nothings mini card set which contains six unique greeting cards on 100% recycled card stock. With cute, simple phrases like “I miss you already” and “xo”, these cards are sure to make anyone’s day bright!

Rusted Trunk launched in 2011 as an online extension of the mobile merch store folk rock musician Miles Nielsen takes on tour. Nielsen’s midwestern style is described as “pop rock arrangements and sunny melodies tucked between a long lost country folk steel guitar floating through speakers around crashing drums, bouncing bass lines and smooth as butter keys.”
With more than thirteen years of writing and performance experience under his belt, Nielsen continues to produce original rock and roll records with the help of The Rusted Hearts band. Don’t miss the 2011 release Miles Nielsen “Presents The Rusted Hearts” on dual gatefold vinyl with an additional digital download card for $20!
