About Us

 

I’m Catherine, a self-taught designer and illustrator based in my home studio in the UK. After over eleven years creating luxury stationery with my first business, CJ Designs, I felt the pull to do something a little more playful — something that didn’t take itself too seriously.

Having briefly dipped my toes into children's prints with my second business Orla and the Gang, I wanted to include a more grown up range. Catherine M Studio was born from that idea: a space for bold prints and stationery that mix clean design with a fun, illustrative twist.

 

My work is all about bringing a bit of joy, colour and personality into everyday spaces — prints that don't take themselves seriously and inject a bit of fun into everyday life. I also want my kids to see that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect to be loved; they don't need to strive for perfection in their lives, they're allowed to have fun and not take things too seriously.

Each piece is designed and packed right here in my studio, with the hope that it’ll bring a touch of fun and warmth to your walls and your day. Please get in touch if you'd like any prints in a different colour, or your favourite drink etc, I would love to hear from you!
