Carla Ventresca is a graduate of Syracuse University where she majored in Communications and not freezing to death. Originally from Philadelphia, she moved to San Francisco, where she created ads for Revo and Fairmont hotels, though she could afford neither. She later moved to Boston and started a greeting card line. It grew big enough to capture the attention of Recycled Paper Greetings, the nation's third largest publisher. Carla is now one of their top artists, selling millions of cards each year, yet she still manages to send her Christmas cards out late. She currently lives in Nashville, Tenn., where she co-creates "On A Claire Day" with her husband and best friend, Henry Beckett.
Henry Beckett (to his parents' great shock) was awarded the title of "most talented" from Phillips Exeter Academy and later, due to a software glitch in the SAT grading computer, managed to sneak in the back door to Harvard University. He attended UCLA Law School, where he thought law was cool but lawyers weren't. So he went and got an MBA, so he could manage all the money he didn't have. Now, he co-creates "On A Claire Day" and composes and produces music for lots of clients, including Miramax, Vivendi Universal and Nike.
