I recently did some fun desktop designs for the lovely designlovefest, a blog I have been swooning over forever so naturally I'm super excited! If you'd like to add a little spring vibe to your laptop

Yesterday was Earth Day and for this occasion Wrappily hosted a design contest. Wrappily is a company that produces eco friendly recyclable gift wrapping paper, something close to my heart 🌿 🌄 🌎 💞

Last month I travelled to Buenos Aires and not only was it a welcome escape from the miserable UK weather conditions (snow in March) I was delighted to discover a very pretty side of the Argentinian capital.

I've been working hard on some new prints and it's about time that I shared some of what I've been working on over here! My latest design is this Greek inspired print featuring objects you might find in

Today I'd like to show another page from my sketchbook. My sketchbook consists of a slim squared Moleskine "cahier" that's around A5 size. Perfect to haul around with me everywhere since it's

Seattle has a lot of fine things to offer. Some of these things I wrote about yesterday such the Pike Place Fish Market, views of the Space Needle and interesting lasertainment. If you haven't read it,

About a week ago I got to visit Seattle. With spectaculair views, art on every corner and plenty of indie shops, I really loved it. On the day we arrived, we took the light rail from our hotel (that had
