I began designing greetings cards in 2010, from my studio in Uppermill, Greater Manchester.  With a love of hand-drawn and painted illustration, in a world of ever more computerised images.  I love how greetings cards are these little affordable art works that go out into the world, connecting people and spreading cheer.  My joyful designs have won awards, sold in many beautiful independent shops, and prestigious galleries such as The Whitechapel and The Tate, and a host of beautiful and unique independent gift boutiques. Sustainability has always been at the core of my values; my cards have always been made in the UK, and have always been printed on recycled card and packaged in biodegradable sleeves.  This year we began planting a tree for every order placed.
