Joanne designs and makes bright, colourful, cards and gifts for your family and friends from her home studio in Somerset.

Hi! I’m Joanne, a designer and illustrator from a small corner of Somerset. I love nothing more than drawing, creating new things and bringing smiles to peoples faces. I graduated in 2010 with a First Class Honours Degree in Graphic Communication and from there my shop was born!

If you have already been for a little nose around my shop you will see that I have created a range of personalised gifts including cards, prints, pocket mirrors and hen party accessories. I always have something new and exciting in my sketchbook waiting to come to life. The list never ends.

You may notice that I particularly like animals, little creatures and flowers. Owls, foxes and bears are just a few of my favourites though and that will probably become obvious when you find them printed on everything from cards and prints to pocket mirrors and magnets!

Another love of mine is hand lettering. I have previously created a number of fonts (and I’m always dreaming up something new) but so far my absolute favourite is being used on all of my wedding and new baby cards. It’s very simple but I am very proud of it. So, by purchasing one of my cards you know that you have something that no one else has and is unique to the Joanne Hawker brand.

Everything that you see within my store has been dreamt up, designed and illustrated by me from little home in the Somerset countryside.
