Erin Sarpa and Ilene Guy, award winning designers with over 20 years of experience, launched the Simon & Kabuki brand in 2007. Erin and Ilene are located in sunny San Jose, CA and have worked with some of Silicon Valley's largest movers and shakers including Google and Apple. 

The Simon & Kabuki brand was created after Erin and Ilene were trying to plan their kid's birthday parties and found a shortage for super hip party invitations.  They thought there was a gap in the market that needed to be filled with fun, fresh and modern design and they were 100% right to the tune of $6 million in online invitation, card and stationery sales since they launched in 2007.

The brand is based on contemporary color combinations, pleasing patterns and design elements with a modern twist.  Simon & Kabuki designs are seen on average by 5 - 10 million internet users every month as people search for fun stationery concepts online.  For 2008, S & K was the number one selling designer on Kodak Gallery for holiday 2008, outselling Martha Stewart and Eric Carle.

Simon & Kabuki are interested in taking their designs to brick and mortar stores with leading companies.  They have also created Cuddlebumps, adorable characters that coordinate with all of their modern patterns.  In 2010, Simon & kabuki are launching their Rock Princess line of stationery at mass and specialty stores.  For more information on Simon & Kabuki, go to their website at: http://www.simonandkabuki.com
