Lauren Richel Kelly and Gina Dean

Ditto Paper duo Gina and Lauren met at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore where they each earned a BFA in Graphic Design. In between classes they made award-winning Halloween costumes, thought about becoming teachers, danced a lot and became good friends. For a short + sweet time they worked together on the Kate Spade New York creative team in Manhattan where they both fell in love with floral patterns, thick paper stock, bright colors and wide stripes. Between them they’ve also logged years of experience at Martha Stewart Weddings, Anthropologie and J.Crew.
