The home of cute & punny stationery & planner goodies!
* How did it start *
Over the last nine years I have worked on and off for design agencies and as a freelance designer whilst also undertaking my postgraduate degree. Working in the commercial design world and the stress of trying to fit too much in, I had an epiphany. I realised what I really wanted was to make things that I would want to buy. I love undertaking different crafts, but paper has always been my passion. Soon our reasonably already full study became packed with cards, cupcake toppers and planner stickers.
Little Pencil Design is run out of our home office/studio where each design is hand crafted, made, printed, packaged and sent to you. My husband helps with the admin side of the business whilst I focus on creating more designs inspired by everything from daily life and strange conversations to films and music.

* How is it made and where *
Everything sold is hand designed and made by myself whilst overlooking the Herefordshire countryside. The best ideas for designs come to me when I am driving and are sketched out on whatever piece of paper is closest to hand. These are then developed into digital artwork, before applying them to the items to see in the store.
We love to show the personal touch in our products and packaging, if there are any designs to wish to see, customisations you want to make or suggestions you have, please do feel free to drop be a message :).

*What makes us unique?*
We offer cute hand drawn designs mixed with brutal honesty. Life is hard enough so we aim to make your life a little easier, and bring you a smile along the way.
Whilst other sticker shops enable beautiful decoration, our goal is the aid mental wellbeing and time management whilst also enabling visual thinking. While the stickers are decorative and fun, they also serve to alleviate stress, all with the help of our resident cutie pie Flump!
I try to think about what I look for in a shop, so our turnaround times are quick, customisation is available and the items are shipped safely to you in high quality packaging.

* Story behind the name *
Little Pencil, has been a longstanding nickname of mine, coming from being creative and constantly doodling, and in my husband’s eyes a small human in comparison to him. Little Pencil, or Little P for short, one day came to life in his cute form and since then I have loved bringing his little adventures to life.
