Meet the maker Rachel Russell

I'm HelloWilson (better known as Rachel). I live in Edinburgh, but grew up in Yorkshire. Having done a first degree in English Literature at Oxford University and escaped a career in publishing I returned to my first love of designing things and graduated from Kingston University in Communication Design. I started working for myself full time after returning home from an amazing year in Rome with my archaeologist other half Ben. I haven't looked back since. I love design and being my own boss.

My illustrations are inspired for the most part by nature and are my way of switching off the computer and relaxing. I particularly love drawing octopuses with a good cup of coffee. My aim is to fill this shop with bright, beautiful and affordable things that you'll love having in your home and giving to friends and family.

I also run Paper Arrow Press offering super cool and affordable stationery for weddings and other important events. Have a look at my Folksy shop: http://folksy.com/shops/PaperArrowPress
