We’re a small family business, with all our artwork being provided by a mother and daughter duo, Sally and Laura. We founded Elizabeth May Designs in 2021 from the desire to create high quality paper stationery with unique, quirky designs and colourful artwork. We're glad that you found us, and hope you’ll enjoy our products as much as we do!
Our namesake, Elizabeth May (or Betty to those close to her), was a gracious lady who appreciated quality, good design, and had great taste. A wonderfully caring mother and grandmother, she was the inspiration behind our business.
Having always had a strong interest in design, Laura uses a mix of traditional and digital art techniques. She loves animals, but particularly dogs, and she finds inspiration while walking her two dogs, Poppy and Basil, in the countryside near Cheltenham where she is based. Laura designed the Happy Hounds and Funky Farmyard collections.
A traditionally trained artist who favours etching and illustration with her delicate and intricate style. Sally’s artwork has been in a number of exhibitions. She's also designed brand logos, labels and packaging. She is based on the border between Wiltshire and Berkshire, where she looks after her garden and her chickens. Sally designed the Interesting Insects and Under the Sea collections.
