Cardboard City

I love it when designers do clever things with paper. Truly inspired by Daisy Lew's Pop-up NYC. At first glance, each spread represents an icon familiar with NYC. When viewed from another perspective you get a cityscape - genius.

School's Out

Another term ended, another deadline met! It's been a long old term with lots of hard work and it was super satisfying to see the fruits of my labour all laid out. Below is my submission for my reflective module which is all about 'the happy collection' from Pen&Pringle. I shan't reveal all as this is going to be tweaked for my business so I won't reveal any secrets just yet! But I just had to give you a sneak preview. Forgive the quality of the shots - iphone camera is pants. x

Hang-tastic

I've been going colour crazy over the last few weeks and bright/ primary colours are really doing it for me at the moment. Spotted this little collection of children's wooden hangers today and I can't wait to do something with them. Watch this space.

Acceptable in the noughties

Being a child of the 80s, I have very fond memories of the decade of Rubiks, legwarmers and shoulder pads. And yesterday, my awesome babe of a husband bought me the best present ever, a Timex 80s watch. I can't stop admiring this little beauty. I know it's not for some, but I love it.

If you're ever in Brighton, you must check out The Lollipop Shoppe - it's one of my favourite shops and I always come out feeling sad because I want to buy absolutely everything. V. inspiring and the staff are lovely too.

Stu stu studio

Been stuck at uni looking at colours and forms and blah blah blah. Trying to make sense of my plan to develop my own design formula - muahahahaha. If I look a little pasty next time you see me, you know why. x
