Daydreaming about designs for your dream day!
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better! My name is Laura; I am the owner and designer behind Design Hart Party.
I'm a mum of two and we live in Sunshine Coast, Australia. I've always loved design and anything creative, but it was only since I had kids that I realised I have a true passion for graphic design! Creating invitations for my daughter's birthday each year piqued my interest in design and I found that I really enjoyed making new and different printables for our family at every opportunity. One day it dawned on me that I could put my graphic design hobby to use and start a small business...and so Design Hart Party came into being. It began as a small thing in my spare time, but before long I knew that this was what I wanted to do full-time forever!
I have been on Etsy since 2010 with my original shop Design Hart Studio (logo design & business branding), but in 2018 I decided it made sense to split off into separate shops, each with a more specific focus. I kept my business logo designs and branding packages in DH Studio, and moved the wedding and party printables here to Design Hart Party.
Both of my shops are inspired by a love of florals and soft, pastel colours. My designs have a feminine edge and often have a feeling of springtime or the chilled out vibe of a summer evening. I also get inspired by abstract art and this is reflected in geometric designs with splashes of colour. On top of all of that, I'm fascinated with the current trends for watercolours and vibrant handwriting fonts, so I use those quite a bit too.
I'm grateful to be part of the Etsy creative community. My graphic design business has given me the flexibility I needed to be able to work from home, surrounded by my kids and flowing around their schedules. I feel very fulfilled to have something tangible that belongs to me and that I built from the ground up, but the most satisfying thing about having my Etsy businesses is working with people who are setting out towards a dream - whether that is to launch a new business, to put on a memorable party or to plan a wedding! The reactions and feedback I get from my customers keeps me fired up to create more designs!
Please let me know if you have any questions. While you're here, If you could take just a few seconds and put a little heart under my shop name or on one of my listings, that will help you to find me again and it also helps me grow my business.
Thanks!
Laura
