PRODUCT INFORMATION
Information about the products I sell
POSTCARDS
All of my postcards, with the exception of a couple Christmas cards, are printed on really heavyweight 310-gsm bright white cotton rag paper. This is a really expensive fine art printing paper with a lovely texture and most importantly amazing colour reproduction. Earlier in my product selling career I outsourced my postcards but these didn’t have the quality (weight, texture, colour reproduction) I demanded so I make everything myself.
In the case of die-cut (shaped cut out) cards, these are cut out by myself using a die-cut cutting machine.
Notes about sizes. All of my rectangle cards are A6 in size. Please note there will be slight size discrepancies between postcard series as everything is designed individually. For example Belgium map postcards will dimensionally be slightly different to Edinburgh.
Everything is completely hand made, there’s no factory process anywhere, so please don’t expect everything to be 100% the same size. There may be 1-3mm difference in sizes.
PRINTS
There are two ways I provide prints. Prints bought for delivery in the UK are printed by myself using 260gsm lustre (semi-gloss) photo paper. This is a beautiful weighty paper to use with fantastic colour reproduction.
For prints bought outside of the UK, I have print partners in most regions around the world. They offer a similar paper with also great colour reproduction, but using a print paper ultimately saves a lot of money for you, the consumer. If I send prints from the UK, postage will be expensive, but by using print papers I’m able to offer free shipping on most prints.
JIGSAW PUZZLES
These are printed and produced by myself. My jigsaw puzzles are printed on thick card and come with a satin finish. I print these myself using a sublimation printer and then they are heat pressed to product the final product. All jigsaw puzzles are then bagged up and posted in a metal tin. As of 2021 I’m able to print jigsaw puzzles up to 300-pieces (30×42.5cm) in size although from 2022, if demand requires, I hope to print 500-1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.
STICKER SHEETS
I produce two different kinds of sticker sheets, one is a regular sticker sheet and the other planner sticker sheets. The regular stick sheets are printed on a glossy sticker paper and I cut these myself. The planner stickers are printed on a heavyweight matte paper which is perfect for writing on. All sticker sheets are 6×9″ in size.

This isn’t just my job — it’s my passion.
I’ve always loved food, travel, and drawing, so being able to bring all of these together in my own projects feels really special ✨
Sometimes I still can’t believe this is what I get to do every day.
What’s something you love that you wish could be part of your work?

As you may know, I started my new brand Moggy Mansions @moggymansions this year, and I’ve been adding more cute little cats into my illustrations. 🐱✨
I’d love to hear—do you like this new direction?

I’ve been quietly working on something… 👀
A tiny glimpse of my Kyoto map 🌿
This is just a few small sections of a much bigger piece I’ve been working on.
Zoom in — there are so many little stories hidden in these corners ✨
I keep getting lost in the details myself.
Which part do you like the most? 1, 2 or 3 💛

Sharing these cute pantry goodies again 💛
It seems like not everyone got to see them the first time, so I wanted to bring them back — they still make me just as happy!
If you spot your favourite, let me know ✨

I love drawing food — it always makes me so happy.
I’m really glad I had a bit of personal time to expand my pantry illustrations.
I ended up adding a few little French pantry details too, which was really fun to draw…
Do you have a favourite? ✨

I can’t wait to see this super delicious and cute pizza book in person! This is definitely one of my favorite board books that I’ve illustrated in 2025. I usually illustrate 20–23 children’s books a year, and this one is right at the top of my list.
Working with the amazing team at Little Tiger @littletigerbooks @tigertales_books made it even more special—my illustration style combined with Maddie’s incredible design skills and Kitty’s charming writing really brought this book to life. We’re already on track to create more exciting and adorable books together!
Massive thanks to Will (Advocate-Art @advocateart01 ), my agent, and everyone on the Little Tiger team. Thank you for making the process of working on this book feel like a dream.
I can’t wait to share more of our upcoming projects—let’s just say they’re going to be just as delicious and super cute! 🍕📚
