We're Alyson and Nick O'Connor, the smiling faces behind Rust Belt Love. Even after 10 years, we still love working together and bringing beautiful stationery and gifts to life. Everything you see is original artwork from Alyson's hand, often beginning as a traditional pen and ink drawing. Nick does all of our letterpress printing on our fleet of 100-year-old letterpresses in our Buffalo, NY studio.
