About The Dimpse

Hello! My name is Debbie and I'm the person behind the scenes designing and making all the things for The Dimpse. I work from home in my little studio in West Sussex, where everything is handmade to order. ​The Dimpse was founded in 2015 after I had my son, and I wanted a more flexible life/work balance - when I've figured that out I'll let you know! Dimpse is an old Devonish word meaning twilight, which is my favourite time of day, when the line blurs between day and night and anything seems possible. I've worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years (ouch, where did that time go?!) in-house and for agencies, for brands big and small and now working for myself. I think that stationery should be fun and bring joy to the receiver and I'm a big believer in snail mail, nothing more joyous than getting something in the post that has your handwriting on. Taking the time to choose something with care and writing thoughtfully with purpose, unlike a throwaway text that's gone in seconds. Be more snail!Read their story
