Born and raised in rural southern Illinois, I can remember loving the visual arts from a very young age.
I went on to study architecture in college, but ultimately pursued the graphic arts upon graduation. I worked for several years in marketing and graphic design. In 2014, I found myself as a stay-at-home mom in a high-rise apartment in Asia as the military sent our family overseas. As a hobby, I began creating invitations and stationery for friends and family. With their encouragement, I officially launched Ashley Bunten Design in 2016. 

When I’m not creating beautiful wedding stationery, you can find me spending time with my husband and kiddos. I’m a proud military spouse and girl mom. I love all things outdoors including desert trail running, hiking and gardening. Between client meetings, I can be found cheering on the sidelines at my daughters' soccer games, coaching middle school cross country, and checking out fun lunch spots around
Phoenix with my hubby.
