Designer - Sammy Smith

Sammy Smith recently contacted me for some advice and then later asked to be featured on my blog. As she was so lovely I couldn't resist but to feature her!

Sammy is a recent graduate in surface pattern design at Swansea Metropolitan university, and is a massive lover of all things japanese and dreams of visiting Tokyo. Her graduate stationery and gift product collection was inspired by all things kawaii and the colour palette came from the radical fashion trends on the streets of Tokyo, in particular Harajuku style.

You can view more of Sammy's work HERE and her instagram which is hellosammyj.

Live work

After working for nearly 1 year in my full time in house design job, i'm finally starting to see some of my designs in stores. (eeek exciting!)

So here is my collection I designed for Paperchase called 'Hot Crush', go buy them in your nearest store or online HERE.

So I sold my first two designs a few months ago through Just Kids Ltd to a company in Korea, how exciting! 

Here is a look at one of the designs that sold :)

I've been a busy bee again lately! I've been designing lots of fun stuff at work but sadly I can't share that until it is in stores, but for now here is a sneak peek at some other stuff I've been working on in my own time :)
