Hey Reader,
With November settling in, it feels like the perfect time to cozy up and embrace the holiday season as it starts to unfold. It’s one of my favourite times to look back on the year, reconnect with what inspires me, and set the stage for the season ahead. Grab a warm drink, find a comfy spot, and let’s dive into what I’ve been up to and what’s in store for the rest of the year. 😊

New Holiday Cards with Thortful
I’m so excited to share my new holiday card collection on Thortful! I've poured lots of holiday cheer into each design, hoping they’ll bring a smile to your loved ones this season. If you're on the hunt for the perfect card to brighten someone’s day, I’d love for you to check them out! 🎄
Feature on Creative Quarters
A big thank you to Louise from @louise_loveprintstudio, who featured my work on her “Creative Quarters” Instagram segment! It’s such an honour to be highlighted among so many talented artists, and I loved the chance to share a little more about my journey and creative process with her audience. Her series is packed with creative inspiration, so it’s definitely worth a scroll if you’re looking for new artists to follow.
December Plans
As the year winds down, I’ll be working on my annual website update and diving into a thorough review of 2024 goals. This December, I’m also planning to take a short creative break to refresh and gather inspiration, so I’ll be pausing on creating artwork until January—just in time for a fresh start in the new year!
NEW ARTWORK
With the newest additions to my Thortful catalogue, I wanted to share a bit more about each card! This year, I’ve created something for everyone: four cards inspired by the classic Nutcracker theme for a traditional Christmas feel, four bright and cheerful designs with a modern twist, and one unique geometric card that comes with a variety of greeting options to suit any holiday situation. I hope these bring some extra joy to your holiday greetings this season!
LET'S WORK TOGETHER!
