The Pretty Festive Story so far

Pretty Festive began as a seed of an idea in 2014 - to create joy filled art-led products. In 2022 it finally germinated and I launched Pretty Festive focussing initially on licensing ornamented hand-drawn artwork to businesses.

Over the past few years, my work has been licensed across children’s apparel, stationery, accessories and homeware and many other things. My designs have been used by independent brands and established names, with products stocked in major retailers and featured on television and in press.

Made to be given, kept and loved

Now, in 2026 I'm delighted to now offer my own label product range of paper and lifestyle goods made with my signature art style.

The heart of the Pretty Festive brand is in making gifting and celebrating feel considered, enjoyable and easy and to create products that feel as good to give as they do to receive.
