ABOUT
ME
Life’s Weird. Your Stuff Should Match.
Hi, I’m Bridget — the creative behind Pixel and Press Studio. Every design here is artist-made with a mix of humor, comfort, and creativity.
How This Accidentally Turned Into a Business…
Pixel and Press Studio started as my way of blending design with everyday life. I’ve always believed creativity should feel approachable — something that sparks joy in the ordinary, whether that’s through a tote bag that flaunts its dark humor proudly, or a hoodie that feels like home.
Every design is imagined, sketched, and refined by me here in Chicago. To make sure your orders arrive quickly and with great quality, I partner with a professional print vendor for production and shipping. That means you get unique, artist-created designs delivered reliably — without the mass-market feel.
Pixel and Press Studio is about making things that are personal, witty, and just a bit unexpected. Because life’s too short for boring.
Oddly Specific Details You Didn’t Ask For…

TV comfort zone
The West Wing (yes, I drink from the Key of Glory — it’s usually filled with iced coffee), Supernatural (“Saving People, Hunting Things”… I do neither), and New Girl (marry Nick, screw Schmidt, and murder Winston — as a prank).

Movie rewatches
Tombstone (Val Kilmer was robbed), Uncle Buck (I am a child raised on John Hughes movies & John Candy reminds me of my dad), and The Lord of the Rings trilogy (I do this for Frodo… well, really for Sam — Frodo’s kind of a whiner).

The theater
I can scream-sing any song from any musical produced in the last 50 years. Test me, I dare you. One Day More — isn’t a challenge, it’s a warm-up.
Daily fuel
Iced coffee and peanut-butter-on-a-spoon, both treated as food groups.
Creative director
My dog, who’s absolutely convinced he runs the show.
Weakness
Collecting more notebooks/journals/planners than any one person could ever possibly fill (yes, the irony isn’t lost on me).
Pixel and Press Studio is basically a mash-up of these little joys — creativity, humor, and everyday comfort turned into designs you can carry, wear, drink from, journal in, or snuggle up with.
What You’re Really Getting Into…
-
Original weirdness — no copy-paste templates, just my brain on tees, totes, hoodies, mugs and tumblers. (Any of our designs can be applied to a variety of other stuff if you have something else in mind)
-
Shipped with care (and a print partner) — so your stuff arrives looking legit, not DIY wonky.
-
Less waste, more taste — print-on-demand means I only make what you actually want.
-
Made for humans — products with personality, designed to feel like you.
Want Something More You and Less Me?
If my weird doesn’t quite match your weird, let’s work together and find it. Collaborating on custom work can create something truly special — and be a lot of fun while we do it.
From the little stuff (like a notebook for your book club notes or a custom tee celebrating an ongoing inside joke) to bigger stuff (like a full suite of merch for your small business or event), I love helping people bring their ideas to life.
