Masha D'Yans Email & Phone Number

As the founder and owner of Masha D'yans Design, a destination for premium illustrated greeting cards, I’m always in touch with the improvisational spirit, creative vision, scrappy imagination and entrepreneurial curiosity of my childhood. Much of of it was spent playing in the snow and in St. Petersburg's grand baroque palaces, sharing funny stories, and making things out of found materials (a near necessity in Russia at the time). I come from three generations of kick-ass female artists and a nuclear physicist dad. I also picked up some tips and tricks from the following rigorous schools: life, St. Petersburg Academic Art Lyceum and the Cooper Union in NY, from which I hold a BFA. In 2002, I started a card line featuring my watercolors inspired by nature, fairy tales, Japan and a refusal to grow up. The cards quickly caught the attention of taste-makers like Barneys NY, Louis Boston and Fred Segal. Today Masha cards, products and picture books are found in many shops internationally. With contributions from my rebel artist and fashion designer mom, Masha D’yans Design offers sendable art and more for playful free-thinkers. In addition to my own line, I design best-selling pop-up holiday cards for MoMA as well as calendars for Rizzoli. I've done t-shirts and home collections for Urban Outfitters and Garnett Hill among others as well as boutique card collections for Target.
