behind the design(er)

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me enjoying a cup of Yorkshire tea (honey and oat milk, of course!), lost in a K-drama/Studio Ghibli movie, or jamming to K-pop while keeping up with my spirited 4 year old daughter. I have a soft spot for cute stationery and am constantly dreaming up new ideas for my Etsy shop because who can resist a little creative fun on the side?

Likes:

☕ Drawing in cute cafes
🏡 Interior designing my home
🎶 Soothing Lofi tracks
🎭 Korean dramas
🌿 Walks in beautiful places

Dislikes:

🌪 Messy environments
💻 Slow technology
⏳ Being in a rush
☕ Cold tea
🤔 Indecisiveness
