Meet Kelly

Kelly Peyton Snyder is a third-generation print and design entrepreneur with a love for craftsmanship, storytelling, and beautiful design. As the Owner and CEO of Pickett’s Press, she brings a fresh, modern perspective to the brand’s storied legacy—blending timeless artistry with a fun, contemporary spirit. Originally from the East Coast, a proud University of Alabama alum, and now happily based in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Kelly brings a thoughtful mix of creativity, style, and authenticity to everything she does. Her eye for design and passion for preserving tradition in a modern way make her the perfect next chapter in the Pickett’s Press story.

Founded by Kate Pickett Davis, Pickett’s Press was born from her lifelong love of art and design. A Harvard-educated artist trained at the Art Students League of New York, Kate created the brand’s signature hand-drawn illustrations that remain at the heart of every Pickett’s Press design today. Each piece begins as an original artwork before coming to life through letterpress, engraving, or digital printing—honoring the beauty of traditional craftsmanship while keeping stationery modern, personal, and full of charm.

Now, Kelly is proud to carry that legacy forward—keeping the heart of Pickett’s Press alive while infusing it with fresh energy, playful sophistication, and her own creative touch.

“I love everything Pickett’s Press stands for—classic, hand-drawn, and full of charm—and I can’t wait to add my own touch as it grows into its next chapter.”
— Kelly Peyton Snyder

Under Kelly’s leadership, Pickett’s Press remains a Modern American Tradition—celebrating artistry, connection, and the joy of thoughtful design.
