Hi I'm Rhian and I'm the founder of 'The Passenger Press'. I really did start this whole thing on the kitchen table!. After graduating with a BA Hons from GSA I worked in the film industry as an Art Director for 15 years, bringing the visions of the Director and Designer to life. I loved it, especially the archive research required for period pieces. I always had a nagging feeling that my own vision was in there somewhere. Over many years and even in childhood I had rummaged at car boot sales and antique shops with a real love for all things print, wood block type, bus tickets and book plates.

When I became pregnant I took the opportunity to take a good long think about what I wanted and decided that printing cards and stationery with my own designs was at least worth a try. My first press was an Adana (fine for the kitchen table despite the inky mess!) this gave me an idea of what I wanted to create and I loved the hands on making. The Passenger Press has grown, as my family and children have grown and now consists of a beautiful shop and studio space where my ideas, interests and research find their way out into the world on cards, notebooks and prints. I've made a business that fits a changing family landscape and I feel very happy that I took a chance on creativity.
