Penguin Ink

Penguin Ink

Originally from Suffolk, Lizzie is a professional Graphic Designer based in Bristol with her husband and family. Penguin Ink was launched in 2015 whilst Lizzie was on Maternity leave with her eldest child Flo. Lizzie had the time to play and create some design work just for her. Lizzie showed it to a local shop and I got such a wonderful reaction, the first collection was created.

The story behind Penguin Ink

Inspiration

Lizzie is inspired by nature, animals and the environment around her designing from her beautiful basement studio. Over the years lots of Lizzie’s and friends' pets have inspired some of our best selling designs. Lizzie's designs are striking and simple using just one or two colours to depict the shadows, highlights of the form, using simple lines and shapes creating a lovely texture on the cards. Using a limited colour palette our cards sit beautifully together across the collections.

Traditional Methods

Penguin Ink cards and stationery are traditionally pressed by lovely local family printers. Letterpress is a beautiful technique, using gorgeous old machines, it is a true craft. The cards have a tactile, embossed finish, exuding quality with thick paper stock and crisp pressed design.
