Bear In Mind Design
Stoke on Trent
I am an Illustrator and Designer originally from Birmingham but currently based in Stoke on Trent. I produce a range of designs and wares for the home and giftware.
My designs are inspired by everyday life, nature, my love of typography and bold colour adding an element of fun in each piece. My illustrations are put on to a range of ceramic ware and I also screen print my designs on to a range of apparel and prints for the home.
I've had a passion for all things creative from an early age and my favourite subject at school was of course Art. Going on to study Graphic Design and Illustration at University, I gained a BA Hons and went on to work as a designer.
Although I enjoyed working in design, I started to feel lost and really wanted to explore projects with a creative freedom. I became involved in an art collective taking part in exhibitions and making art for friends in my spare time. Inspired by different art mediums and techniques made me want to know about setting up my own creative business. Attending several business courses, I gained knowledge and started to make the steps in planning my own business.
I started in a small space at Staffordshire University and this is where I taught myself screen printing which was one of my passions with a love for print techniques and typography. Since moving to Stoke on Trent, I have become involved with ceramics as my family run their own pottery company. It started during lockdown when one day I grabbed a brush and started illustrating on to pots. Since then I've looked at making my own range of wares from illustrated earthenware ceramics and screen printed apparel and gifts for the home from my little studio. I continue to grow my business and get inspired by everyday life.
