How it all began…
It all started when this little thing called COVID came around. I was working a grueling waitressing job, and when all that came to a halt I was able to shut out all the hussle and bustle and think about starting business that I had been dreaming about. I had a passion for making/creating and sustainability so I finally had the time to dive deep into learning the skills of letterpress, calligraphy, etc. As we slowly ventured our way out of the pandemic I was able to hone in that passion and those skills into what we now know as Della Terra Goods & Design!
Della Terra means "of the earth" in Italian, and so much of my work is inspired by nature — handmade papers, cotton papers, floral illustrations, natural dyes, the list goes on — and my mom. My italian mother has always been an artist, teaching me an assortment of artful skills throughout my life — skills I didn’t know would become so valuable to me as an adult as I ventured into entrepreneurship. Thus Della Terra was born!
Meet the Maker
Elle is based in New York City, and is just a fun lovin’ silly gal. She went to school as an actor, and has passion for the environment and crafting. She has always had an eye for aesthetics and thrives when she is busy making her creations. Elle loves that snail mail is still so valued in the wedding industry, even when certain print making styles are such a lost art. When she isn't being an artsy fartsy gal, she is usually at the dog park with her business pawtner (pictured).
