Always Open: Custom made goods from my hands to yours

I’ve toyed with opening my own shop for years. Well, procrastination’s over. It's here after a journey of sawdust, paint splatters and late-night doubts. The best part? It’s always open.


Some things are just better when they’re made by hand. Especially signage where you can see real brushstrokes and letters carved with care. They feel like they have their own story to tell. 

That’s exactly what you’ll find in my new online shop — a collection of custom-made and limited-run woodcuts, signage, greeting cards, and more.

Every product has been a labour of love. I’ve spent months designing, cutting, and painting wooden signage and cutouts that bring personality to any space. Nothing off-the-shelf — every piece is crafted by hand, packed with character and built to last.

So, what’s inside? 

  • Hand-Painted Signage – Custom-cut and painted the old-school way. Often only 1 of each sign is available. Once these are gone, they’re gone.

  • Hand-Painted Woodcuts – Bold illustrations with hand-crafted charm. A mix of traditional craft and modern design.

  • Greeting Cards & Small Goods – For keepsakes and sending to someone who loves something different.

No mass production, no shortcuts. Just proper craftsmanship, ready to add a little magic to your shop, studio, or home.

Getting the details right

But it’s not just been about the products. Getting to this point meant working out an ordering system that makes sense and setting realistic turnaround times for both myself and my customers. Figuring out how to balance client work with making stock for my shop. It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I see this little store as a place to experiment with passion projects and try out ideas that don’t fit neatly into client work. It’s where I get to play, create and then share what comes out of it with you. Some pieces will be one-offs, some will have limited runs, but every item is made to be a keeper.

If you like things made with care, things that last and things that tell a story — go take a look. The shop is open, and I can’t wait for you to see what’s inside.

If you fancy getting first dibs, sign up for my mailing list (or just drop me a message and let’s chat). 

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
