Portrait of Carina Murray

Crow and Canary is a one-woman show, founded in 2006
by design enthusiast Carina Murray.

A childhood obsession with My Melody, Little Twin Stars and Hello Kitty stationery sets ignited a life long love for cards and paper.

Carina began experimenting with letterpress typesetting during her undergraduate days at The Evergreen State College. Now the owner of her very own Chandler & Price platen press — affectionately nick-named “the Beast” — Carina dreams of a day in which she’ll have the press whipped into shape.

An ardor for all things letterpress and passion for paper were driving forces in the formation of Crow and Canary. Though the company has gone on to represent a diverse line up of designers, letterpress, screen-printed and hand embellished cards remain at the core of the collection.

Crow and Canary is a travel-based repping agency, whose territories include Oregon, Washington and the Los Angeles metro area. A focus on handmade products, eco-friendly practices and a talented line up of local and national designers, are just a few of the qualities that set Crow and Canary apart in the industry.

You can most often find Carina with her trusty canine companion, Ula, somewhere along the I-5 corridor en route to show eager shops the latest and greatest from the Crow and Canary collection.
