A fantastic self starter

From July of 2021 I have been working with the design agency Omobono on their rebrand launch for Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials (MCAM). It’s been quite an exciting learning curve to work with a design agency as it’s something I’ve never done before. Admittedly at first I felt out of my depth as I got to grips with the processes, the systems and people involved. That said, I overcame my…

Happy New ’22

Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year? It is mid January after all! The back end of last year was my one of my busiest yet, I felt like a plate spinner managing client requests – I’m not going to lie it was at times stressful (I’m not sure I slept during July tbh!) but it was certainly great to be in demand, and a happy…

Christmas Shop! New designs added

New designs added! I love Christmas! I can’t say it’s my most favourite part of the year, I am definitely a sunflower, so come winter admittedly I would prefer to go full hedgehog and hibernate until further notice, but Christmas I feel adds some definite sparkle to an otherwise dreary part of the year. Due to this genuine LOVE I like to share a fun Christmassy message and thought I’d…

Now on Thortful!

Did you know that I’m now on Thortful? And I am BEYOND excited!! As you know I have a little side hustle, and when I’m quiet on my real line of work, I create a few designs here and there mainly for my own enjoyment…. And then I realised that maybe some people may actually want to buy these designs… Possibly… After much deliberation over whether I could/should start my…

We see Elizabeth as part of the creative team

Over the past year or so Element Studios UK have become my most regular client. I love working with the team as each project is unique, as highlighted by Karen here!  Elizabeth never knows what we’re going to ask her to do next. To help realise our TV ideas, she might be channelling a jungle format, a football documentary, or a crazy idea from outer space, running the full gamut…

Mental Health week

It is Mental Health awareness week across the UK from today until Sunday 16th May. This past year or so, mental health is something that has been talked about more openly than ever before, and so I thought that I would share something that is close to my heart, effects me on a daily basis, and hopefully make people more aware of how their actions can affect others not just in my…

The carbon footprint of the internet

Last week I read an article saying that streaming Netflix for 2 hours was the equivalent of driving 1/4 mile in terms of carbon emission, and that an hour’s video call produced 170g of carbon, comparable to a pot of Bisto granules. This blew my mind, and it was something I decided to explore further. In terms of climate change, a lot is focussed on industry and car pollution, but…

One year on…

Well, what a year it has been! This time last year, I was taking my first steps into my freelancing life. My gamble of going it alone had paid off and I was rewarded with joining a great team at the Stamford Bridge hub working towards the footballing charity event of the year, Soccer Aid, a role I was hoping would take me safely to June. It was a great start to what…

Shop sustainable!

One of the aims of my Redbubble online shop is to offer sustainable gifts. From collecting cans from neighbours when I was little (I got 1p per can from the recycling companies!) to promoting campaigns aimed at festival goers taking their tents home, sustainability has always been an issue that I have been passionate about. I often watch shows produced by the wonderful David Attenborough and have a little cry inside at…
