And Here We Are

From the team:

And Here We Are is a woman owned & operated letterpress printing studio based in Columbus, Ohio.
Our work focuses on modern hand lettered and illustrated prints and stationery that are beautiful (but not precious), irreverent and thought-provoking. Each letterpress piece is printed by hand on antique presses in our studio.

And Here We Are was founded in 2012, working on custom wedding invitations out of the corner of a tiny Brooklyn apartment and renting press time at a nearby letterpress studio. In 2015 we relocated to Columbus, Ohio, and bought our first press (a Vandercook SP-15). We launched our first line of products at the National Stationery Show in 2017, and later that year moved our studio out of the house. We now occupy a large studio space in the Franklinton Arts District of downtown Columbus and have since added a Heidelberg Windmill to the family. All artwork is hand drawn by Meghan Hopkins Sokorai.

Originally from Cincinnati, Meghan spent 9 years in New York City before moving back to Ohio in 2015. She holds a degree in Visual Communication Design from the Ohio State University and a certification in Typeface Design from the Cooper Union in NYC, and her background includes stints in textile design, branding, advertising, public relations and television. Her work has been featured in publications such as Elle Decor, Vogue Living, Better Homes and Gardens, The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, and penned the preface to Ginko Press’ book, The Modern Wedding: From Graphics to Styling.

Meghan creates all the original artwork for And Here We Are and runs our letterpresses. She's also a wife, and mom-mom to a toddler & new baby, dog-mom to a hound mutt, and plant-mom to approximately 30,000 houseplants.
