and the founder!
ABOUT AUTUMN & AFTER
Hello, I'm Renee.
I’m a natural cozy homebody, a trailblazer at heart, and the founder and creative business visionary behind Autumn & After.
I’ve always been drawn to cozy days, beautiful paper, and the quiet power of meaningful connection.
Autumn & After was created to bring more of those moments into the world through written correspondence.
We offer premium illustrated correspondence collections for people who still believe in handwritten connection and the small, thoughtful gestures that remind someone they are remembered, celebrated, and appreciated.
Creativity Meets Technology.
Sitting alongside me in The Mailroom is my son and Autumn & After co-founder, Evan, a creative technologist who helps bring our ideas, systems, and digital details to life.
Together, we are building a paperie rooted in creativity, connection, and the simple pleasure of sending something wonderful through the mail.
It's Deliberate.
We opened Autumn & After before every shelf was perfectly stocked, and that was intentional. We decided we’d rather open the doors, share what we’ve created, and keep building as we go than wait for the imaginary “perfect” moment. So while you may notice shelves are still filling in, there’s plenty more on the way. Subscribe to The Mailroom Dispatch for emailed announcements of new items added to our inventory, including fresh stationery, care mail kits, notecard sets, blog posts, and little mailroom finds we think you’ll love.
The True Heart Behind Autumn & After. 🧡
During a particularly difficult time in 2024, someone sent me a small postcard with a few encouraging words.
It was a simple gesture, but it made me feel seen when I needed it most.
That little note is still with me — not only because of what it said, but because someone took the time to choose a card, write the words by hand, and put it in the mail. In the middle of a busy life, that kind of care felt deeply intentional. It was a small choice to pause and remind me that I mattered.
Autumn & After was created with that feeling in mind. I want to make it easier for myself and others to offer the same kind of comfort and connection.
Let's spread more coziness and care!
