It’s Friday night, and I really shouldn’t be sitting at my desk writing a post, but… this is such a freaking awesome offer that I had to share it with you before it goes away.

Repper is a web app for creating geometric patterns on the fly, and I can say from experience that it’s quite addictive! The possibilities are endless, and it’s such a source of inspiration, that I bet you’ll never feel stuck for pattern ideas ever again.

Today I’m doing a different kind of post. I’m going to give you a little peek into a project I’ve been working on in the last few months and which I’m very excited about! If you’ve ever thought about launching your own brand/shop you might want to read on…

At the end of last year, after years of dreaming but not doing anything about it, I finally decided to launch my own online shop selling beautiful products printed with my designs, and ‘Republic of Happy was born.

I just finished an awesome course, ‘Airtable for Creatives’ by designer Kristina Hultkrantz, and thought you might like to know about it. If you’re anything like me you’re gonna love it!

Airtable is a free spreadsheet-meets-database app, but please don’t let that description put you off. It’s a genius organisational tool that can help us bring order to our sometimes chaotic creative businesses and brains!
