My STORY
Snapdragon Designs is the idea of Shelley who was based in Maidstone in South East England but now resides in rural Lincolnshire. She studied Graphic Design at De Montford University, graduating in 2004. Since then she has
worked as a hand bookbinder for 10 years before discovering laser cutting and designing the award winning 3D cards she is known for now.
Over the past 6 years, she has worked to grow a successful retail and wholesale business as well as working on a variety of bespoke projects such as acrylic jewellery for exhibitions, movies and custom skylines for shops and corporations.
Current and previous stockists have included The Natural History Museum, Museums Sheffield, The Falklands National Trust, The Piece Hall, Huttons, Kew Gardens, Fenwicks Newcastle and many more indie shops. Their skylines have been sent all over the world as little reminders of home.
​
This is our little studio at the bottom of the garden. Here you can see Bertha our wonder lasercutting machine.
Bertha cuts all the cards, etches the hip flasks, tea lights, enamel mugs and loads more. We truly could not live without her.
Every item we make in the studio goes through our hands, whether its to hand assemble cards or check for the utmost quality you can be assured our hands have done it.
