Print and Pattern

One of my favourite, favourite blogs is Print & Pattern by Bowie Style - http://printpattern.blogspot.com. Dedicated to all things gorgeous in the world of surface pattern design, this blog never fails to inspire me and always reminds me why I became a designer myself. 

Even better you can also buy the "book of the blog" which is packed with gorgeous illustrations and fascinating profiles about talented designers from all over the world. Of course, this gorgeous book is now on my special bookshelf nestled between all the beautifully illustrated children's books which have been purchased "for my little girl".

Miss Clara

"With her nimble fingers Miss Clara works the paper to give birth to tiny characters so graceful that one could think without a doubt they are animated by exquisite magic."


I have been mesmerised by this French artist for a while now and thought it was time to share. I first discovered Miss Clara when I purchased a postcard of her work from my local book shop. I then rushed home and googled her to find a website (which fortunately can be translated to English) http://missclara.free.fr and her blog (which unfortunately, can't) http://lescarnetsdemissclara.blogspot.com. Sadly, the only thing that remains from my French lessons at school is Je m'appelle Deborah, Bonjour and Au revoir, but at least I can gaze upon her amazing artworks... who needs words when something is this beautiful?

Oz Goddess

Lovely to see the final chosen logo design for my client, Courtney, who is embarking on a new business venture with her natural skincare range, Oz Goddess. We have been busy working on packaging and posters but in the meantime, here is the chosen logo. And also, I thought you might find it interesting to see some of the concepts that got away! 

The final logo!

Settle Petal

As a mum of 2 young children, having the opportunity to work on a project specifically for mums and their babies is always close to my heart. So when Jan Murray, local author, private child health nurse and founder of Settle Petal, approached me to design covers for her latest books I jumped at the chance.

Here are the final designs...
