Hi, thanks for visiting! I’m Monika!


Welcome to Salt & Paper, where creativity meets craftsmanship! I'm Monika, a Canadian-based illustrator and the proud owner of Salt & Paper, a vibrant stationery and gift company. My journey from a corporate travel agent to a full-time creative entrepreneur is a testament to following one's passion.

What began as a side hustle to fund my love for travel has blossomed into a thriving business. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with esteemed clients such as the BBC, Crocs, Pinterest, and CityLine, creating custom illustrations that capture unique stories and moments.

At Salt & Paper, every product reflects my love for the whimsical and the witty. From hand-carved rubber stamps to an array of colorful goods like greeting cards, stickers, and notepads, my creations are inspired by the dynamic interplay of city life, pop culture, and culinary delights.

Each item is crafted with care and a personal touch, aimed at bringing joy and a sprinkle of fun to everyday life. Whether you're looking for a custom illustration, a unique gift, or a splash of color for your stationery collection, Salt & Paper offers something special for everyone.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope my creations inspire a bit of joy and creativity in your day!
