THE MAN BEHIND THE DESIGN
“My mission has always been to serve and help others. Now, through a bit of paper engineering and artistry, I have the opportunity to help others turn their own passions into a tangible legacy their friends, family, and customers can hold in their hand.“
— ADAM SAMUELS
ABOUT THE COMPANY
StationAri Designs was founded in 2025 but has been in development with hundreds of design ideas and uses for almost a decade.
I have always liked to tell stories, to bring family, friends, students, and clients to someplace they may not have been before. To share the same pride in my organization and mission that I felt.
Emails with digital photos are so common now yet they do not have the same ability to pull the reader in those old-fashioned letters or cards used to. Those we could hold in our hand; an email they could ignore or delete. Our pop-up cards provide multi-sensory techniques to help recipients remember your message and not want to put it down.
MOVEMENT
Visual mechanics as the paper parallel slices open and close to form a unique shape in space.
TACTILE
Laser cut precision between card layers encourage readers to slowly swipe their finder over the surfaces and FEEL the curves or angles of the paper, not just see it the 2D design.
COLOR
Choose from the simple elegance of a dark paper cover with a bright laser-cut layer peeking through, or from thousands of available colors in a precisely printed and cut sheet. Every visible surface of the card can be customized.
UNIQUE IN ALL THREE DIMENSIONS
Your ship, satellite, product, or statue comes to life as a 3D model. Depth, shadow, and dimension create a lasting impression. Even after clients put it down, they’re more likely to save and reopen the card than throw it away or delete it.
YOUR BRAND, YOUR STORY,
AT THEIR FINGERTIPS.
