I’ve always been an avid sender of post, something I got from my Mum who would send me magnificent envelopes when I was away from home. The cards I make for Mortlake Papers are polished versions of the cut-at-the-kitchen-table ones I have given to family and friends. The artwork is snipped, painted, glued and scrawled by me in my crayon filled home studio.

For over a decade I've worked as an illustrator and author. In October 2022 I made my first card (a die cut polar bear) and was so pleased to get them stocked in a handful of shops across the UK. It gave me the confidence to launch Mortlake Papers the following summer. I juggle Mortlake Papers around my young children, I love that it gives me the flexibility to be around for my family.
