I started my business when I was in a bit of a creative drought in my early twenties. My career was in design but had taken a turn into a more senior admin role and I was struggling with not using my hands enough. I had been struggling with anxiety for a while and it was suggested that I try and get back into something creative.

I had two weeks off, but no holiday planned, so I decided to dive into creativity. By the end of the two weeks I was having so much fun and decided to make it a priority to return to a creative career. Peggy & Kate was born! It being a greetings card lead company all came together quite naturally, as I am a big fan of letter writing and used to hand make all my cards for loved ones anyway, I made a small range and within a month had booked myself into a craft fair so I had a deadline and was motivated to take it seriously, it's now 9 years later and I haven't looked back!
