Meet The Core Team
hello from us all…
As the Founder and Creative Director, my focus has always been people first. I run the business on this philosophy. Not only am I hands-on in the general running of Curious Pencil, but I am also an experienced (to degree level) poet and creative writer. My heart for powerful communication has always been there – I use my experience in words to elevate the cards assuring they are memorable and pull on the heartstrings of others. Our cards are a simple yet effective way to improve on the customer experience and add a personal touch, ultimately making the world smile, one person at a time.
I oversee the artwork and have years of experience in all types of illustration techniques from pencil drawings and watercolours through to digital art. I have a passion for the artwork we create being as authentic as possible, with very little digital manipulation, this is because I believe there is a warmth that comes from imperfect hand-illustration. My aim is to add a splash of personality to the traditional corporate greeting card which often lacks energy and passion, to truly reach touch people’s emotions.

With over 10 years of marketing experience in visual product placement, traditional offline strategies and digital channels I am passionate about the customer journey from beginning to end. I began my career in 2010 at the well-known retailer Claire’s and have since worked in multiple roles within the marketing department leading high-performance teams and driving influential campaigns from conception to implementation. My role within Curious Pencil as Head of Marketing is extremely exciting, I use my prior knowledge and experience to support the growth of such a heartwarming brand that strives to make a difference with personalised communication.
