Welcome!
Kona & Birch is a female owned multidisciplinary design studio with a focus on visual identity and making design tactile through letterpress.
We love partnering with small business and independent creatives to illuminate their visual story - what they do, who they are, what they stand for and why.
Hi! I’m Teresita Olson
After 17 years as a marketing professional, I took the leap, quit my corporate job, and enrolled in art school to pursue a second career in graphic design. During my second year at MassArt, I was introduced to the art of Letterpress and instantly fell in love with the process. Since graduation in 2019, I knew that I wanted to incorporate letterpress into my freelance design work. Since then, I’ve acquired four Letterpress machines, allowing us to expand our print services and fully integrate it into the design studio and business.
