Nine Seven Co.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Originally an elementary school teacher, Denise Keegan is independent, full of passion, and always pushing herself to learn new things. After four years of teaching, getting married in 2012 and welcoming their first daughter in 2013, Denise and her family had to relocate to another state for her husband's career. Determined to find a way to work from home so she can spend time

with her daughter, she dusted off her laptop and began exploring with her design skills that she left behind in high school. With encouragement from her family and friends, Denise opened an online shop. In just two years, her business, connections, and design skills have grown in ways that she never expected, earning her features on BuzzFeed, Refinery29, and Huffington Post. Why 'Nine Seven?' It's simple really--Denise's daughter was born on September 7th. The process is simple too--greeting cards are printed on recycled paper that come from a fabulous, clean energy paper mill in Michigan. Designs are printed, cut, and scored in her home studio. Unique greetings that are representations of life's many experiences--keeping it lighthearted, inspirational, and course not forgetting some good old sarcasm and sass.
