Hello! Online I go by Marvey, but my real name is Victoria Leigh. I started bookbinding in October 2024 while working full-time as an accountant to gift my cousin a physical copy of a story he published online.

I first discovered bookbinding through a YouTube video and learned the basics that way. From there, I learned more advanced techniques by reading old books about historic binding structures and attending bookbinding conferences in England.

I quickly fell in love with the slow, easy going pace of bookbinding and how it encourages you to live in the moment, especially with how fast paced modern life can feel.

Most of my current work consists of handbound sketchbooks, journals, and bespoke renewal work. Visit my shop to see what's currently available or visit my commissions page to learn more about custom orders.
