My name is Onneke Northcote-Green and I am a designer and illustrator living in Seaford, East Sussex. I am originally from the Netherlands and moved from Amsterdam to Brighton in 2003. I have always been a creative person. As a child I spent all my time drawing and making things. When I became a mum, I returned to my sketchbooks and over the years built a business selling my own work on cards, prints and gifts.

In 2017 I was looking for a studio space in Seaford and found a beautiful shop on 37 High Street. I decided to take the gamble and open a gift shop with a design studio on site. In the shop I sell my own work and a quirky collection of other cards, prints and gifts.

My favourite thing about living in Seaford has always been the incredible nature we have around us. From the beach, to the cliffs, the fields, the forest and the rivers. I love walking around all these beautiful places with my dog and have started to capture them in my own bright and colourful way.
