Emma - Designer/Maker

The Pumpkinsputnik range consists of beautiful handmade notebooks, cards and stationery made with the best quality watercolour card and cartridge paper and printed with my photographic designs of nature.

When Emma goes out to take photos for designs she is drawn to interesting patterns and shapes in nature, the silhouettes of trees or bold leaf shapes and the contrasts of colour and pattern.

There is something very special about making a book - transforming a pile of paper into something more - knowing that people are going to write their thoughts and ideas in it. All those possibilities…

Emma graduated from Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen, in 1995 and has worked as a designer jeweller and then full-time mum before starting up Pumpkinsputnik in 2005.

ANTHROPOLOGIE, June 2011: We worked with Emma to produce an exclusive range of delicate Floral Notebooks for Anthropologie (available in UK Anthropologie stores). They were described as "truly beautiful" by the Buying Manager.
