A few years later, encouraged by her then boyfriend, now husband Truman, the couple started PAPER+CUP in 2003. Prior to starting PAPER+CUP, Minhee started her design career in the editorial department at Time Inc. He thanked Minhee's mom and continued to fill his tiny stomach. After earning a BFA in painting and drawing from UCLA in 1998, she moved to New York to study graphic design at SVA. He saw that Minhee felt sad and decided to eat as much as he can. However, there was one boy named Truman that just so loved the Korean treats. All the kids started to make fun of the traditional Korean treats that Minhee's mom brought. Paper + Craft: 25 Charming Gifts, Accents, and Accessories to Make from Paper by Paper+cup Designs, Minhee Cho, Truman Cho and a great selection of related. To Minhee's dismay, they were not the cupcakes she asked for. So her mother came and with delight started serving Minhee's birthday treats. She asked her mom to bring in some cupcakes to celebrate her summer birthday during the last day of school. It was 1983, Minhee was new in her 4th grade class. IT ALL STARTED IN 1984.WE WERE IN THE 4TH GRADE The business has evolved since the beginning but our love of good, smart and fun design still remains! It wasn’t until our second book, Weddings in Color launched in October 2015 with co-author Vane Broussard from BklynBride that Minhee realized that there truly is a need for better gifting and decor options. In 2010, we wrote our first book Paper+Craft with Chronicle books along with Randi Brookman. When our wedding was published in Martha Stewart Weddings in 2006, it launched us into the world of custom invitations. After years of working with clients on custom invitations, founder Minhee repeatedly found that her clients needed help with sourcing welcome gifts, favors, and custom decor. We were fortunate to have had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the industry's best companies such as Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Neiman Marcus, West Elm, Galison and Chronicle books. Our works have been featured in publications such as Print, Martha Stewart Weddings, New York Wedding, Real Simple, Domino, Lucky and The New York Times. What initially started as a stationery company offering a line of letter-pressed cards and journals has evolved into custom stationery, licensing and product design.
