Meet the maker

Hello, I’m Zoe, the designer and creator behind Spotty N Stripy!

 I’ve always been drawn to creativity, from studying art in Nottingham to completing my degree in Two Dimensional Design in Hertfordshire. After university, I moved to Lincolnshire, where I worked as a designer for a joke and novelty company (yes, whoopee cushions were involved!).

In 2008, everything changed when I became a mum. While adjusting to life with nappies and night feeds, I started dabbling in design again, creating a small range of greetings cards. They took off online, and soon, Spotty N Stripy was born. I became a Not On The High Street partner and developed my signature typographic style. In 2012, my personalised wedding couple print became a bestseller – and it’s still a favourite today!

Now, I work from my cosy studio in a tiny Lincolnshire village, surrounded by a beautiful lake, a Christmas tree farm, and endless inspiration. Sustainability is at the heart of my business – I’ve ditched cello wraps in favour of eco-friendly packaging, and I even use a trusty wheelbarrow to take my post into the village!

Every card, print, and gift is designed, printed, and hand-assembled with love, making thoughtful, personalised presents for every occasion.

Enjoy having a look around, and thanks for supporting my small business!
