our founder
A fifth-generation New Orleanian of French heritage, Heron Paperie founder Eugenie Babington is moved by the beauty of her native Gulf Coast and the romantic way the City that Care Forgot retains a lingering sense of the past.
Her childhood dream of becoming an ornithologist—one who studies birds—transformed into the study of graphic design instead. Inspired by her love for feathered things—birds, fonts, the wrought iron outside her grandfather’s architecture studio—she established Heron Paperie in 2021 to share with others her reverence for stationery, visual design, and New Orleans.
