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
