I've always loved design and illustration, even from an early age I was scribbling on anything that stayed still long enough, I even had pens for the bath tub! Most children's Christmas lists contained dolls ands toys but mine always contained every craft kit and design set that the Argos catalogue could hold. So when I left university in 2010 with my First Class Honours Degree in Graphic Communication I knew I wanted to do something creative for me. A year or two later, whilst working on a pepper farm, I created a small handmade business which I ran in the evenings. I decided that I wanted to chase my own dreams instead of working for someone else. 



If you’ve already have a nose around my shop, you will see that everything is bright and colourful! I’m bit of a colour magpie and I love to make my own hand drawn ‘fonts’. This makes the cards 100% unique to me and I thoroughly enjoying making them too. 

I also love to create secret and surprise messages for people and they’re my absolute favourite to make. Knowing that I’ve helped someone to ask their best friend to marry them, or helping a couple announce their pregnancy to their nearest and dearest is such a wonderful thing! You can surprise practically anyone with one of my scratch cards. I designed them for a Godmother, Godfather, Godparents and for announcing pregnancies. But it doesn’t stop there. I even have them for your bridesmaid, your future maid of honour and even little flower girls. I’ve even made them for wedding proposals, those are definitely my favourite to make! I never know if they say yes or not though... I hope they are all Yes's!

Whilst I specialise in special occasion greeting cards, I also create a range of enamel pins, accessories and prints. I’ve also got many other ideas up my sleeve for new products so keep checking back!

I am also the human responsible for clogging up your Instagram feed with amazing makers every March with #MarchMeetTheMaker and in December with #MeetTheMakerWeek. (Sorry, not sorry!) #MarchMeetTheMaker is a 31 day Instagram Challenge, set by myself, @JoanneHawker that runs throughout March every year. But it's more than just a challenge, it's a creative community of designers and makers that come together to show people what they can do. It's about building each other up, making new connections, telling your small business story, growing your confidence and most importantly, it's about putting yourself out there. I hope to chat with you over on the ‘gram soon?



Anyway, enough about Instagram! I gave up my job on the pepper farm chasing caterpillars and looking after fruit for the supermarkets in 2016 to go full time doing what I love the most! Designing, making, and being my own boss!
 Everything that you see within my store has been dreamt up, designed and illustrated by me from my little home studio in the Somerset countryside. I am keen lover of the colour yellow and when I’m not dreaming up new products, I like to be outside! You’ll find me adventuring down by the coast or wandering around in awe in the local forest!
