Minted is a design marketplace that sources creative content from a global community of independent artists and sells the best content in the form of art, stationery, and home decor. The company operates an online marketplace of premium design goods created by independent artists and designers, sourcing art and design from a community of more than 16,000 independent artists from around the world.
Founded in 2007 by Mariam Naficy and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Minted uses a crowdsourcing model to discover exceptional design talent through regular design challenges. The company offers artists two business models: one where Minted handles manufacturing and fulfillment, and another where artists handle production themselves. Minted specializes in wedding invitations, save-the-dates, holiday cards, wall art, nursery decor, and personalized stationery, all customizable with the customer's photos and details.
