The idea for HelenHampsonDesigns started after the I had my little boy, Teddy, in 2016.
My daughter Maisie was about to start reception class at school and I was on maternity leave with Teddy. Although time is not what you have a lot of when you have a new born in the house, I found designing my prints gave me a little time out from feeding and nappy changes!
After working as an in-house designer for over 17 years I decided to start following my dreams of working for myself and letting my work fit around my children. Here I am, 2 years later, living my dream! So thank you for joining me on my journey - and helping a busy creative mummy achieve her dreams.
I want to offer people the opportunity to purchase a wide collection of prints, for the nursery, wedding or simply as a present etc, but also let people be able to contact me and have an affordable design facility to use.
All my prints are created on Illustrator and Photoshop and I absolutely love working on these design packages and creating my print designs.
More than anything I feel so lucky to continue being creative, but making it work around my two young children is everything to me.
I try my best to be super organised. I have two amazing children and like all Mum's there are always 100 things to be done! I am a big believer in making lists and so when my little boy has his nap, I know exactly what has to be done first and it helps me stay focused. Even when I am taking my daughter to her gymnastics class, I take my laptop and a list with me, to get the jobs done.
I would also highly recommend a slow cooker, they are AMAZING! Prep the night before and have it cooking whilst you work. It eliminates the stress of what we are eating that evening!
