Meet Claire: About White Ink Calligraphy + Co.
Meet Townley
Townley began digital designing in 2013 when she opened an Etsy shop, Townley Designs. After 3,000 digital design sales, she decided to join forces with Claire to create custom invitations utilizing custom calligraphy and her love of digital design.
Outside of stationery, Townley has a therapy practice in Nashville, where she lives with her husband, Mack, and son, Monroe. She enjoys spending time indoor cycling, curating fonts, planning the travel behind White ink and exercising her Bernedoodle, Louie!

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves 🤍
Claire, me! I’m the voice on this IG account.
Townley might pop in time to time, unwillingly 😂. If I make her do an IG reel, it’s never a voluntary situation.
We are sisters. Planners that work on multiple projects with us, or our local vendor friends, you see it and you get it! Clients that work with us from their save the dates to their final day-of details get a fun glimpse into it all from the first consultation to us cheering you on for the big day.
We have this whole balance thing; where our team knows that it’s okay if one of us is in panic mode; bc the other is chill, calm and collected. And then we swap back and forth. If both of us are not chill, then the studio is literally on fire 😂. Did a set of vintage stamps get delivered to my neighbor’s house? Maybe. I’ll be running up and down the street knocking on doors like a crazy person while Townley is relaxed, looking for a new supplier of this rare vintage postage our client can’t live without. Balance.
We grew up in a household of both parents being entrepreneurs - so our hustle and the freedom that comes with self-employment was instilled at a young age, whether we like to admit it or not.
We are Nashville natives; born and raised. We have historical ties to the Nashville wedding industry that some of our client’s parents and grandparents have mentioned. It’s truly a small town.
WHITE is our maiden names, which we both still carry. Hence, WHITE ink. Ironically, when I started White Ink about 9 years ago, Townley said DUH to this name when I was brainstorming it. And here we are today.
Anyway, if I keep going, next I’ll be sharing photos of us backpacking around the world. Until then, this new photo from @sarabill.photography fits the bill just perfectly. ❤️

Take a big ol’ swipe through our feed and you’ll see that we love color. And the color palette of this suite did not disappoint! Can’t wait to share more of what’s to come with this fun event with @ericandjamiephoto and @beckysbrides

“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” but actually… when it’s a die-cut hydrangea moment, it kind of is.
Counting down to all the 2026 spring weddings bringing fresh color, thoughtful details, and paper that feels like art ❤️

Anyone can make something pretty. The details are what make it meaningful.
The custom cityscape of the nashville skyline that we included on the invitation, was carried through to the seating chart installation and die cut pocket on the menus. No AI here my friends. It’s so incredibly important to us that art stays free of AI - this artwork was done by hand, with pencil, and carried throughout this event celebrating fellow creatives.
Each guest experienced the seating chart installation, walking up the steps to find their escort card amongst the trees. Each escort card was die cut in the shape of a fig, with the guest name and table number in calligraphy. Menus were adorned with calligraphy as well. The bar menus and the table numbers pulled in fun materials for texture and depth. 💜
