Digipip Designs

I made a little side project that’s very close to my heart 💜

I custom designed these prints for my niece & nephew as a Christmas gift. Each one features their name, DoB, and is filled with tiny illustrated characters inspired by the time of year they were born (Autumn/Halloween & Spring/Easter) 🐰🍂

It started as a simple “this will be a nice gift” …but after sharing them, so many people have said I should sell them 👀

So now I’m curious…

If you saw personalised prints like these on somewhere like Etsy, made just for a child with their name + birthday details, would you buy one as a gift? 🎁

Let me know… I’ll even take orders now 😅👇

Well… here’s some news 👀

I’m officially a South of England 2025/26 Prestige Award Winner 🏆

This year has been a big leap, a lot of learning, and a lot of questioning myself, so this recognition feels pretty good!

Thank you to every client who’s trusted me with their brand and business — it genuinely means a lot 💚

Not bad for the first year of DigiPip, aye?

BIG news… and I can finally shout about it!

I started this freelance adventure back in April - and if you’d told me a year ago that I’d be here - lead designer on a documentary project with coming on as a sponsor - I honestly wouldn’t have believed you. ✈️

The Roof of Africa (supporting ) will follow a team climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with .summits, sharing lived experiences of bullying, recovery & resilience - and I’m so proud to be shaping the visual identity and bringing the look & feel of the project to life.

Freelance has already brought me people I’d never usually cross paths with, events I’d never have been invited to… But moments like this are the ones that really stop me in my tracks.

Massive shout out to & - we’ve worked our socks off on this and I’m so proud of what we’ve pulled off so far ✨

More soon 👀

With only 6 sleeps until Christmas, I thought I’d better get my wishlist in before it’s too late! 🎄

Hopefully Santa sees it in time! 🎅🏼

When this year started, I had no idea I’d be quitting my job and starting my own design business (how scary is that!). Being self-employed has completely changed my day-to-day - I’m still figuring it all out, but I’m so glad I took the leap and started DigiPip.

I’m excited to see what 2026 will bring and I’m sure it’s going to be an even bigger and brighter year (and the things on my list would really help too 😆)

Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎁

A quick little passion project of mine to mark a huge moment - Lando Norris is officially an F1 World Champion! 🏆 🏎️

WOOO!

He’s only the 35th driver to win a championship in F1’s 75-year history, and the 11th British champion to do it.

What a season - and heading into the final race it was still a proper three-horse battle for the title. I was a nervous wreck!

Congratulations 💛

Introducing Pantone's Colour of the Year 2026:
Cloud Dancer (Pantone 11-4201)

It’s described as a soft, airy white symbolising clarity, reset, and quiet optimism.

Honestly, the colour they chose took me by surprise - it felt a little anticlimactic.

Why? Pantone has been picking a Colour of the Year since 1999, and this is the first time a shade of white has ever been chosen. They usually go for bold, eye-catching hues that make a statement. This year, they went the opposite direction: subtle, understated, almost invisible… a shade of white.

Not sure if I’ll ever actually use it - after all, white’s already everywhere - but I’m curious to see how brands and designers give it personality and make it feel like a choice, not just the background.

I started this adventure back in April - I never planned to go freelance, but life clearly has other plans (and I'm glad it did).

If you'd told me a year ago that this would be my life, I wouldn't have believed you. I've met some amazing people along the way that I'd never normally cross paths with, been to events I'd never have been invited to, and even bought myself a new car! 🚗

I don't exactly know what 2026 will have in store for me (though I've already got some exciting things on the calendar) - but I'm going to work hard, push myself out of my comfort zone more, and keep saying "why not?" ....it's got me this far!

😆💪🏻

My sister is raising money for St Barnabas Hospice in memory of our dad 💛

She’s started training for the Brighton 10K this April, all just months after having her second child. St Barnabas Hospice took such incredible care of Dad in his last days.

Any donations will be gladly received for this hospice. Thank you!

I'm going to admit something a bit embarrassing...

My latest offer didn't just underperform - it brought in zero enquiries. And yeah, that sucked!

But I'm sharing this because that's the reality of running a small business.

It's hard.
It's lonely at times.
And at least once a week you question why on earth you chose this path.

Yet here I am - still showing up, still trying, and hopefully moving forwards.

Does your brand look a little different everywhere or shows up? 👀

If things aren't as consistent as they should be, it might be time for a little brand TLC.

No full rebrand needed - just a simple style sheet or brand guidelines to get everything aligned 👌🏻
