For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to beautiful things. Stories, colours, textures – the tiny details that make something special.

Some of my earliest memories are of me sitting at the dining table with my mum, paintbrush in one hand and pencil in the other, happily lost in arts and crafts. I’d spend hours sketching still lifes or writing stories from my imagination.

Creativity has always been in me. It led me to a First Class Honours degree in Design & Visual Arts, and into the world of advertising.

As an Art Director, I delivered campaigns for global brands including Nestlé, Unilever, and ghd, and was selected to attend the Cannes Young Lions Creative Academy at the Cannes Lions Festival – an unforgettable experience that sharpened my eye for creative storytelling.

But it wasn’t until I created the stationery for my own wedding that I fell in love with all things ‘wedding’ and the small but powerful details that make each celebration personal and unique. I noticed how the right choices can set the tone before a single word is even spoken. That’s when Honey Bee Mine was born.

Now I draw on my years of experience to design wedding stationery that’s crafted to be remembered. Thoughtful, personal, and quietly luxurious.

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me at home with my husband and our two little ones, finding inspiration in everyday moments and planning our next family adventures.

I love being able to share my passion with others, because to me this is more than just paper.

It’s the start of your forever.
