About Us
Alpha Stamps came into existence as only an Internet business could. A group
of San Francisco Bay Area Web and print designers who met online trading ATCs
or Artist’s Trading Cards recognized an unfilled market niche, and their
ability to fill
it. Alpha
Stamps allows these designers to create interesting work without the constraints
of serving a client's business, giving them the ability to follow their own
muse.
Recognizing that no creative venture can be run by committee someone has
to be the leader. Leslie Elledge is the Alpha Alpha Stamper; she designed the
Web site between the activities of her own design company, Capacis. She is
also the principal designer and vets other designers work.
In a leafy bower deep in the heart of Emeryville, CA, together with the other
Alpha Stampers and a few elves, we develop new and interesting products,
fulfill your orders, keep the presses oiled and the stamps inked.
Special thanks to Doug Jackson of Douglas Jackson
Creative Resources for copywriting.
