Founded in 2024 but originating from a love of stationary, books and most things paper from decades earlier. I am a firm believer of the adage that is never too late, but exactly the right time to follow your passion- who knows where it will take you! 

The Life Cycle Design combines two things that I care deeply about: sustainability and beautiful paper. In my opinion, both go hand-in-hand and we are all increasingly conscious of our impact on the world's resources and seek to be mindful of our consumption.

I begin with photography- capturing moments, textures and colours from my travels and experiences around the world + a pop of colour from my inner magpie. These images form the foundation for my patterns to develop contemporary wrapping papers, greeting cards and giclée wall art.

My collections are all eco-friendly. From concept to packaging, everything is rooted in a “leave nothing but footsteps” ethos I want to uphold. Compostable sleeves, acid-free tissue paper and cardboard envelopes ensure our beauty is not only skin-deep. And it doesn't have to end there, reuse the wrapping paper turning it into origami squares or paper chains. Make  book marks or gift tags with the greeting cards. Have fun, your imagination is the limit!

I am expanding The Life Cycle Design with my favourite discoveries that I am so excited to share with you. Gifts to yourself or perfect for that person who popped into your head, they have sustainability and design at their core and I think you will find things you love amongst them!
