I just love colour, pattern and print. The delicious results of overlapping inks, that lovely matt texture, intensity of colours and ever so tiny mis-registration of layers (part of the charm in my opinion). I love the whole process and the slight panic that it could all go a bit wrong. I've always loved anything with a geeky process to master and in print that's the gift that keeps on giving.

Architecture, furniture & decorative arts of the mid century are a big inspiration. I have a small collection of mid century ceramics and I'm a bit of a fan of West German fat lava vases.

I particularly love illustration and graphic design of the 50's & 60's and my work often embraces the simple graphic shapes and textural hand drawn elements of that period.

My aim is to create beautiful things made from quality materials that you will treasure and will keep for years. I spend time considering the materials I use and their impact on people and the earth:

• You won't find plastics in my products or packaging
• My suppliers are based in the UK and most are based in Yorkshire
• Many of my papers are recycled and those that aren't are from sustainably managed forests
• My inks are water-based

• When cleaning screens, I use a micro filter to separate waste water and capture any particles present in my ink (my gold ink is magical but it does have lots of tiny particles in it)
• My packaging is mostly paper based, using compostable cellophane for prints at events (and for wholesale) and card catch stickers instead of bags for cards
• I don't order huge quantities of materials or stock, meaning I can keep unsold stock to a minimum and reduce waste. This does affect my prices somewhat as I don't benefit from the lower costs of ordering large amounts
