Tell us a bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hellooo I\u2019m Charli. I\u2019m a graphic designer and illustrator living in Hampshire. My hobbies include stalking cute dogs and shouting \u2018squirrel!\u2019 a lot\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into making cards? Was it always something you wanted to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child I often made cards for friends and family \u2013 I was always very much into my arts and crafts and I doodled a lot. Microsoft Paint was also THE BEST. It properly kicked off after university when I was working as a graphic designer full time, but I wanted to explore illustration a bit more in my own time. I started off by designing patterns, mainly for wrapping paper that I sold on Etsy, and then I started playing around with greeting card designs. I absolutely loved walking round card shops and seeing all the different designs that inspired me – I decided it was something I would love to have a proper go at. From then on, it became my aspiration to one day have my card designs in shops all over the country! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has lockdown changed the way you work at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has definitely been a journey! I was made redundant from my day job after being furloughed for months. It sucked, but it did give me a lot of time to work on my illustrations and card designs (silver linings and all). Luckily, I now have a new full-time job (phew!) and so I\u2019m back to spending most evenings working on new designs and packaging up orders. It\u2019s been very weird starting a new job remotely, not getting to know my new teammates in person, but working from home isn\u2019t so bad! Although, I am currently working from the kitchen table due to my partner needing the spare room\/office for his work. On the plus side, I have easy access to the fridge and wine cupboard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite card you’ve made and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it has got to be \u2018Birthday Farty\u2019. I had the idea at about 2am one night when I couldn\u2019t sleep. I just thought it was so stupid and funny \u2013 I had to create it! Who doesn\u2019t love butts in hats!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you pick up any lockdown hobbies\/do you have a recent lockdown binge watch to recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually did! I learnt how to embroider and moonwalk (sort of)\u2026 In terms of lockdown binge watching, I loved Get Organised With the Home Edit \u2013 it\u2019s so satisfying and it definitely inspires you to have a clear out and tidy up. We also watched entirety of The Office (US) for about the third time \u2013 it\u2019s just so good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

hat are you most looking forward to as soon as the world goes back to normal or gets a little more normal over the next few months?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m just desperate to hug everyone! I haven\u2019t hugged my grandparents for over a year now which is so sad to think about. Oh man, and I\u2019m really missing the pub and eating out with friends and family! A massive meal and drinks, maybe some games\u2026 The dream! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us one fun fact about yourself <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes have weird hallucinations when I\u2019m sleeping. One time I saw spiderman, another time I saw a seal on the floor! (We were holidaying by the seaside at the time so that one sort of makes sense?!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
