Boss Dotty is a stationery and gift company celebrating the everyday, with fingers crossed. Our playfully illustrated products are inspired by the tiniest moments — romanticizing the perfectly toasted bagel, expert typography on a fading street sign, or an inside joke from a friend who has seen it all.

We aim to bring flashes of joy via ephemeral art on ordinary objects as a respite in an increasingly chaotic world. Through a joyful, maximalist reimagination of the everyday, our goods invite small moments of connection and a space where people can feel seen.

Our products are designed and packaged by hand by a tiny team in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with lots of love and attention to detail. Theresa Berens is the founder and creative director behind Boss Dotty, a labor of love that would not be possible without pop-in help from a wildly supportive band of family and friends in Brooklyn and Nebraska. Her creative, independent and resilient grandmother Dorothy is Boss Dotty’s namesake.
