About Two For Joy Illustration

Hi, I’m Louise. Welcome to Two For Joy Illustration. I’m the proud founder, designer, and one-woman band behind this independent greeting card brand. From my little studio in Suffolk, I create over 250 hand-drawn designs, each with a playful twist and crafted using my own handwriting. My journey here started with a degree in Decorative Arts, where I explored everything from screenprinting to ceramics. I then worked in children's wear design and led a textiles department, before spending eight years as a retail buyer in high-end homewares, furniture, lighting & gifts. Now, all that creative and retail experience goes into making special, high-quality collections that I hope you’ll love. Every card I make is printed right here in the UK, using eco-friendly factories & fully recyclable materials. Two For Joy is my creative outlet and a way to share a little joy; each card is designed with care, while I balance business life with raising my three children in the Suffolk countryside. I’ve got a real passion for postboxes too.. There’s something magical about their history and charm, which ties beautifully into the joy of sending cards. In 2024, I took a big step by showcasing my collection at my first trade show PG Live in London, & i got through to the finals for the Henries Awards 2024 (The Greeting Card Oscars!) and I’m so excited to see what comes next. Thank you for supporting my small business and for choosing to spread a little joy through my cards. It means the world xRead their story
