screech owl designs


Screech Owl Design draws its name from a family of screech owls who live in the trees behind our family cottage. As nature inspires the imagery in our cards and the name of our company, we are continually striving to make our product as sustainable as possible. Our commitment to the environment is reflected in our use of high quality recycled papers. Screech Owl Design brings a line of playful, personal and distinctive cards to life.


Jacqueline and George Schmidt, a husband and wife team, founded Screech Owl Design in 2008 in order to combine their interest in illustration, graphic design, and fine art. Their love of traditional craftsmanship is apparent in the rustic design of the cards, which Jacqueline draws by hand. Both Jacqueline and George have exhibited their artwork in galleries in New York City, Chicago, Michigan, Mexico, and in Amsterdam. They reside with their two cats Mister and Pinky near the East River in Brooklyn, New York.
