get to know me

Hi, I’m Cassidy!

Nice to meet you! I am a daughter, sister, friend, Ohio girl and designer at heart. It all started when my sister, Abby, asked me to design her wedding invitation suite a few summers ago. The opportunity to pour my creativity into a piece of her wedding was an extraordinary gift. I fell in love with bringing this story to life and realized I wanted to do the same thing for others.  

Inspired by my desire to bring loved ones together through joyful events, Third of May provides thoughtfully designed stationery that will become a tangible memory of your celebration. Named after my parents first date at the Kentucky Derby in 1986, Third of May is an homage to their love.

A wedding, a milestone birthday, a 50th anniversary, a baby on the way, or a new beginning – let’s celebrate it all. If my work resonates with you, I would be honored to learn about your vision and celebrate alongside you. It’s time to party!

Cassidy created a baby shower invitation suite and produced exactly what I envisioned! She was quick, efficient, creative and very helpful when
I needed assistance in print production.
