About Simply Lepree

Home → About Us

Born and raised in Syracuse, NY, I have always been creative in some way, shape or form whether its poetry, drawing or designing. Growing up, I spent my spare time harnessing my creative interests by drawing on computer paper, going to the library taking out books on how to draw figures and clothes to joining the National Art Honor Society in high school and competing in the NAACP ACT-SO (Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) competition all 4-years of high school. I then took my creative gene onto Syracuse University where I graduated with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Fashion Design.

After graduation, I found myself designing outfits for prom, semi-formal, graduation, 100 Days Dance and a fashion show. I also found myself designing customized invitations for baby showers and weddings to even designing a wedding box as a Christmas gag gift. To my family and friends, I am known as the creative one. If they want something made or designed, they call me. Therefore, it is no surprise to anyone, that I have followed the path of Creativity and launched, Simply Lepree.

The idea of Simply Lepree was conceived December 2008 when I designed invitations for my first annual Christmas get together with my siblings and god kids. After showing a co-worker the invitation, he said, “You should do this as a business.” I thought about the idea and said, “Why not take it to the next level?” And Simply Lepree was born.

Simply Lepree is known for our simple designs and unique concepts. Most importantly, we are known for our customized works in which our customers, Call the Shots!!! I know first-hand how disappointing it is to have the perfect greeting card, invitation or design in mind and can't find it anywhere. That is no longer the problem, here at Simply Lepree. Our customers can design their own greeting cards, note cards invitations, notepads and etc., and we bring their vision to life, giving them exactly what they want. And I have a blast doing it all!!!

Welcome to Simply Lepree!!!!

It's Classic. It's Contemporary! And You Call the Shots!!!
