The Inkist
Bath
Hey, I’m Mathilda, founder of the illustration studio The Inkist. In a previous life, before having children, I was a multi-award-winning graphic designer, traveling the world. I quite accidentally returned to illustration as an outlet after undergoing surgery.
The Inkist combines unique illustrations with a luxurious finish. We use Mohawk Eggshell 324gsm paper, known for its elegant texture and strength, for all our cards, and our eco-friendly master printers use modern Indigo digital printing technology to reproduce my illustrations in all their vibrancy.
My story started in a rather unexpected way – from my bed, as I recovered from surgery on both of my feet. What began as a way to pass the time quickly turned into a passion, as I found myself sketching designs inspired by my love of illustration. Thanks to the encouragement of friends and followers, I shared these creations and was overwhelmed by how many of you loved them. Your support pushed me to keep designing, and now, I’m constantly adding new, fun pieces to my collection.
I’m based just outside the exquisite city of Bath and work closely with a fantastic printing partner in Devon who shares my values. Not only do they use 100% green energy, but they also recycle all their waste, among many other environmentally conscious practices, making them one of the most eco-friendly printers in the UK. Knowing that my designs are printed in such a responsible way makes me feel incredibly proud of the work I do, and I’m committed to bringing you products that feel good in every sense of the word.
At The Inkist, quality is at the heart of everything I create. I want you to feel proud when gifting my designs, whether you're sending a birthday card to your partner or wishing a loved one a speedy recovery. I also believe that feeling good about your purchases should never come with a hefty price tag. My goal is to offer you designs that are affordable, elegant, and made to last. All my designs are printed digitally on the fabulously weighty Mohawk Eggshell paper. I hope that The Inkist cards are gifted as delightful works of art that can be kept as keepsakes, standing the test of time.
Thank you for supporting my small business and for helping me bring these designs to life. I’m so excited to share them with you, and I hope you’ll find something you truly love.
