A Little Hello Co.

Hi, I’m Dawn Mancuso—watercolor artist, designer, and founder of A Little Hello Co.

I create stationery and paper goods featuring my hand-painted illustrations—playful, feminine designs rooted in vibrant florals and coastal charm. Everything in the shop begins with a watercolor painting, then is thoughtfully designed into something both beautiful and functional: planners, notecards, stickers, calendars, and more to help you organize your week, write a note to a friend, or to simply add some creativity and inspiration to your workspace.

HOW IT STARTED

Before launching A Little Hello Co., I spent over two decades working as a creative director and designer for brands like Disney, Tupperware, and Universal. When I was laid off during the pandemic, I returned to painting as a daily practice. It quickly became more than just a creative outlet.

I started sharing my work locally—first through galleries and farmers markets, then through prints, cards, and eventually a full line of stationery. As demand grew, so did the vision. In 2024, A Little Hello Co. launched its first collection of organizational tools designed to support focus, creativity, and connection.
