Tenn Hens
Bonnie Cross and Currier Stevens make up the graphic design team of Tenn Hens Design, a studio specializing in unique paper goods, branding, and marketing materials. Their artistic style and advertising background combine to help them create timeless, thoughtful pieces. They adore watercolors, pretty paper, vintage postage, and all the details that make up the perfect package. They worked together for several years at a local ad agency, became fast friends and were soon dreaming up ideas for their own shop. They took the leap in 2005, setting up shop in a tiny spare bedroom with computers and new business cards while looking for clients. Little did they know, Tenn Hens Design would still be going strong so many years later and fulfilling their artistic passions.
