Quiz-tastic Side Hustle

I’ve always loved a good quiz (and frankly who doesn’t?) and so whilst putting together a family quiz over Christmas, I decided to start a side hustle doing just that – compiling and designing up instantly downloadable quizzes. It’s very slow but sure, but I really enjoy researching and compiling questions together, and hosting a quiz night of my own on my favourite themes, so if you want to check…

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.

Christmas is coming….

When my (former) flatmate exclaimed back in March that 2020 was a write off, little did I (or he) know the kind of year we were in for… But that’s a blog for another day! We’ve all got our tales to tell of 2020, but one common thread amongst…

Designed By Lizzi: My little side hustle

As with every designer, I have projects going on on the side that I do just for fun. And that is how Designed By Lizzi was born! I’ve always been interested in designing for greeting cards and gifts, but due to the printing costs involved have never been able to take it any further, yet a few months ago a client got in touch about designing some cards and so…
