About The Ardent Archive

We’re two best friends who turned our lifelong dream of owning a bookstore into a community focused online and pop-up store built around books, art, and community. We believe that your interests truly become a part of who you are, and your life and surroundings should reflect that. Hadley is the illustrator and graphic designer behind all of our visuals. From our custom bookmarks and sticker designs to our website and all of our branding. She brings each idea to life through her beautiful illustrations, and background in graphic design. She will spend 24-hours straight staring at her screen to perfect each and every illustration and design, and no one can stop her! Kathleen is the non-stop idea machine and production aficionado. Fueled by her constant stream of books, media, and new hyper fixations, she’s always dreaming up new concepts, collections, and ways to make products feel even more bookish and reader-focused. She is also a self proclaimed professional at cutting paper projects in our guillotine cutter. We created The Ardent Archive straight out of our unyielding love of books and the community books create. Every single paper product in our shop starts as a blank piece of paper and both of us personally create it into the magic seen on our website or at our pop-up tables! Together we wear *all* the hats needed for our company as it is just the two of us running the show! Read their story
