Designing with heart, so you can focus on remembering.
My story
When my own family faced the task of planning a funeral, I realised how overwhelming it can feel. There are so many details to organise, at a time when all you want is space to grieve and remember.
What stayed with me was how much the small design touches meant — a photograph, a colour, a flower that spoke to who our loved one really was. Those details became a comfort. A way of honouring a life well lived.
That's why I began The Farewell Studio.
My Role
I work closely with families to create personalised funeral stationery — order of service booklets, photo tributes and keepsakes, each designed with thought and care.
Bespoke pieces never start from a formula. I listen to your stories, look at the photos you share, and design something that feels true to your person. Every detail is chosen to reflect them, and to give your family something lasting to hold onto.
And for families who'd rather create it themselves, I design ready-made templates with that same care — beautiful, considered designs you can personalise in your own time, at your own pace.
For me, this work is about more than design. It's about creating calm in a difficult moment, and making sure the farewell feels beautiful, personal, and filled with love.
If I can make this part easier for you, and leave you with a keepsake that carries their memory forward, then I've done what I set out to do.
Your person, at the centre. Every decision — the typeface, the paper, the pacing of a slideshow — starts with who they were.
Honesty about what you need. If a simple card will serve your family better than a deluxe booklet, I'll say so.
Care over speed — but speed too. Grief doesn't wait, and neither do funeral dates. You'll never be left wondering where things are up to.
