I'm the winner of the Really Good Design Search!

A few months ago I entered the Really Good design search to find:  "... the best, most original, and commercial range of designs that are suitable for cards, stationery and/or gifts." ( David Hicks ) The competition was being judged by some of the most influential people in the UK greetings and gift market, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to get some of my newest designs in front of industry experts including  WHSmith buyer  Claire Castle ;  Alan Harnik , president of US distributor Notes & Queries;  Jenny Cummins , MD of Australian distributor Macmillan Cards; Postmark’s managing director,  Mark Janson-Smith  and Progressive Greeting’s editor  Jakki Brown.   At PG Live in London in June it was announced I had made the shortlist of 4 finalists . And at the Harrogate gift fair on July 16th it was announced that I have won ! I could not be more surprised as the other finalists were very strong designers with wonderful and original design
