Dear Beni

Are you a “list” person? Do you love checking things off your lists? Do you pay attention to details, yet swiftly get “ship” done? Can you juggle many details simultaneously, without losing sight of deadlines? Are you obsessed with order & organization? Are you curious about creative small businesses? If so, we want to hear from you.  We seek a highly systematic self-starter, who can help take our business to the next level.

Who We Are

Dear Beni is a modern stationery brand reinventing the way individuals write. We specialize in interactive, laser-cut greeting cards, changing the experience of writing & receiving. We are also entering the wellness space, exploring next-generation gratitude & self-awareness tools. Our products are strictly analog in a digital world. We recognize the threat digital lifestyles present to well-being. Our mission is to counter this threat with “analog” products that enrich, support, & strengthen connections. 

We are also designers at heart. We explore the unexpected. Innovation is our middle name, and “thoughtful” design (which furthers connection) is at the forefront of everything we do. We live for delight and connection.
