So what's with all the birds, anyway?
Well, they stem from our company name. Jessica Miller, our founder and lead designer, chose the name Corvus as an homage to her favorite types of birds (those of the genus Corvus). Jessica gets a lot of her inspiration from nature, particularly wildlife, and wanted to incorporate her love of nature into her business life. This often shows in her design style, which has been described as "organic" and "ethereal".
