My story so far…

I am a designer and commercial artist with over 30 successful years in the industry. During that time I have worked in-house for Royal Worcester and Wedgwood, and for the 18 years as a consultant for many household names and prominent brands. I established my own design consultancy in 2006, creating beautifully crafted decorative designs for some of the most prestigious companies and designer brands. My designs have been commissioned and licensed world-wide for a variety of products and my work has taken me around the globe. A selection of the clients I have worked with over the years include: Marc Jacobs, Waterford, Monsoon, Denby, Lenox, Marchesa, Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta as well as some of the best stationery companies.

I decided to launch my own collection via my new online shop “DINAH PAPER AND CLAY”. The new collection was born out of a desire to create beautiful pieces that reflect my love of traditional skills and craftsmanship. A mix of printed and foiled cards and Giclee prints created using fine print and luxury papers. The foiled cards are pressed by hand using the traditional artisan method of hot foil printing. This process combined with a carefully sourced card stock gives a beautifully tactile finish. Each piece is designed and produced with a patient dedication to detail whether made in house or sourced from local manufacturers. The products have been sourced with the planet in mind to ensure that nothing is destined for landfill.

In a world where digital interaction is so dominant there is something very special about receiving a tactile greeting card, the feel of it in your hand, the anticipation of opening the envelope, the thoughtfulness of the sender, something to hold onto and cherish. 

I hope you will follow along with me as I add more colourful and shiny products to my range.
