I hope to inspire readers to make informed and positive ethical shopping decisions.

I am open to collaborations with businesses who share my values. Clients include Ethical Consumer Magazine and New Internationalist.
Here are some of the steps I’ve taken to be as ethical as possible in my studio:
- Powered by 100% renewable energy using solar panels and Ecotricity
- All printing is on recycled paper using an EcoTank refillable ink printer
- Office supplies from The Green Stationery Company
- Pens and office waste recycled through Terracycle schemes
- Voluntary design work undertaken for charities and campaigns
- Low cost design work for small local businesses
- MDF and particle-board free solid wood furniture, floorboards and construction
- Natural paints and wood oils used throughout
- Refillable environmentally-friendly cleaning products
