Alexis “Lex” Monson and Santiago Prieto are the husband-and-wife team that created Punkpost. It all began when Santiago was on a work trip to Boston, about to present to a room full of bigwigs. Before going into the meeting, a “Good Luck” greeting card arrived to his hotel from Lex. Santiago was touched by the thoughtfulness. Being from Mexico, where the mail system doesn’t work, he was amazed that you could send a personal message to someone on nice paper, with artwork, that even came with a cool stamp. It was magic. That same day he tried to reply to Lex with a card. He quickly realized that sending true mail wasn’t all that simple. He couldn’t find a card that wasn’t cheesy or stamps. He couldn’t even find a pen. It simply wasn’t possible for him to send back the effect he received. The two decided the boutique-card-store experience should be more accessible. So they quit their jobs and started building Punkpost. They’ve each handwritten thousands of cards and have built a community of scriptists and artists.
