Let me introduce myself. I’m Jaine, wife, mother, grandmother and mess maker from Basement Studio in Luxembourg. I’m a freelance graphic designer with a passion for watercolours and nature. I hand make bespoke greetings cards and invitations and hand bound notebooks and sketchbooks, but more recently I’ve been illustrating designs to be printed on a wide variety of products from notebooks to fabrics.
I’ve been creating in one form or another since I was a child, first learning to knit and sew from my grandparents, drawing is in my DNA and hand making notebooks and cards to satisfy a longing to be hands on in the creating process.
Self tought in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, I now love to combine a passion for sketching with graphic design to create cards and gifts. I’ve designed stamps and stencils for the craft industry and have my own line of Town House stamps. I’m lucky enough to have worked with some amazing companies over the years from Kuretake, WOW Embossing Powders and Canvas Corp Brands amongst others.
I’m very proud to have been published in the UK based publications, Beads and Beyond magazine, Sewing World, Scrap 365, Making Cards and Papercraft and Craft Stamper magazine where I also held the position of assistant editor.
