Ash + Chess is a cute stationery company run by queer and trans power couple Ashley Molesso (she/her) and Chess Needham (he/him), based out of Richmond, VA. They create greeting cards and art prints that are bold, retro color palettes and they often use their artwork to make a political statement. Their company made its debut at the National Stationery Show in May 2017, and since then over 400 retailers throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia sell their art and stationery.
