Having always been a big stationery fan, Karen spent most of her career working as a Nurse then a Midwife in the NHS and it wasn't until she had her own children that she realised the importance of having to teach and encourage her children to write Thank you letters by hand.

After a few Letterpress workshops, a reconditioned vintage Adana table top printer was purchased along with some typefaces and lots of card and ink!  Printing for friends and family made way for exhibiting at local school fairs. 

As well as taking on bespoke orders from her studio in Clapham,  Karen is on a mission to seek out the originality and playfulness of letterpress stationery from around the world and bring it to a wider audience, in order to appreciate its beauty. 

Karen says:

"I love creating bespoke stationery to order or just for fun, using new type, colours and layouts, as well as discovering new suppliers. I also love handwriting and am really keen to keep this art alive, especially amongst the younger generation where digital screens have taken over!"
