Penguin Ink was launched in 2015 whilst I was on Maternity leave with my eldest child Flo. I had the time to play and create some design work just for me. I showed it to a local shop and I got such a wonderful reaction I started designing my first collection. Once I went back to work I sent the first 16 designs off to print. It’s been the best decision of my life. I have always loved letterpress printing and love to see new designs come to life when they come off the printing press. In the past two years I’ve started creating homewares with my favourite designs.

I’m inspired by nature, animals and the environment around me, designing from my garden studio, in Bristol. Sustainability is really important to me, using recycled, recyclable materials and offcuts. I love to make products that are loved and last, by using quality materials made in the UK.
