We love design, we love being in awe and we love asking questions. We love paper, craft and blowing people's minds with what can be done — and with treating people with respect and honor.
We love to travel. We've got 27 countries down and we love chasing beautiful things around the world and bringing back the inspiration to our shop in Seattle. We've pressed our faces against the windows of print shops in Tokyo, traced marble details in Milan, and obsessed over the type on menus in Copenhagen. That curiosity shows up in every piece we make. We're drawn to Japandi, Nordic design — clean, simple, modern, and blatantly our couples.
We were married at 20 years old and are still madly in love with each other. We think this whole marriage thing is pretty amazing — and we're devoted to making art inspired by our couples, by their love, and by this amazing, magical, beautiful day that will be remembered forever.
When Ryan was little, he lived in Haiti. And in Haiti, he fell in love with his favorite fruit: mango. He used to eat them every day - sweet, unique, and unlike anything else.
When Ryan moved away, he missed the mangos. But he got older and grew to love other things - like Heidi. He married Heidi, and together they loved to entertain. They loved sending beautiful invitations. The only problem: the kind they wanted to send didn't really exist yet.
Then they had kids. And still, no invitations worthy of the occasions. So they started making their own. Cards that were as nice as the party. Cards that gave a taste of the sweetness to come.
Those cards reminded Ryan of mangos. Sweet. Unique. Made with care. So in 2005, they started Mango Ink.
Twenty years later, we're still just trying to make sweet, unique things that people love.
Heidi
Designer & Creative Director · since 2005
Pacific Northwest native. Obsessed with clean lines, letterpress, and getting it exactly right. Two decades of making beautiful stationery — and somehow still the most excited person in the room about paper. Mother of three. Does not compromise on kerning.

Shipped Myst. Shipped Riven. Now ships wedding invitations with the same obsessive attention to timeline and craft. Lover of wonder, lagom, ikigai, and planes with good legroom. Will absolutely talk your ear off about Scandinavia.
Jess
Executive Assistant · Spokane, WA
Born and raised in Spokane. Powered by sunshine, water, and a margarita when the occasion calls for it. Believes deeply in hard work, honesty, and choosing to grow just a little each day. Has goosebumps every time she thinks about what we actually make for people.
Your invites are the first thing your guests experience. The first impression of your wedding — before the venue, before the flowers, before the day itself. They should feel like you. Not a template. Not an afterthought.
That's what we make. And honestly, it's the only thing we know how to make.
