I’m absolutely thrilled (and still a little stunned!) to share that I’ve been named Best Independent Print Designer 2025 – Oxfordshire at the SME Business Awards!
It means so much to have this recognition, especially as a small independent business rooted in a love of nature, sustainability, and design. When I started out, I never imagined that my hand-drawn birds and countryside-inspired patterns would go on to decorate so many homes — and be part of so many special moments.
To be honest, it’s not just an award for me. It’s for every one of you who’s supported me along the way — whether you’ve bought a card, gifted a candle, sent a kind message, or simply followed along. You’ve helped keep independent design alive, and I’m beyond grateful.
Each piece I create is inspired by the British wildlife and landscapes I love — from the gentle hum of bees to the rustle of hedgerow leaves. And every product is designed to be both beautiful and long-lasting, whether it’s a cushion, a greeting card, or one of our reusable ceramic candles.
“This award feels like a big hug for everything I believe in — joyful design, connection to nature, and supporting small makers.”
Thank you for being part of this journey. I couldn’t have done it without you — and I can’t wait to see where we go next.
