A little bit about us...

We’re a team of two from North Somerset where our studio is based, set on the coast in Portishead just outside of Bristol. We have worked and lived together for over 15 years and are specialists in our fields of design and print.

Angela, (a graphic designer by trade) and partner Mark, (a printer by trade) together ran a thriving commercial print and design company in the heart of Bath for many years. Lovestruck Stationery was born out of our combined passion for all things paper, hence our strapline ‘Paper Goods Made with Heart’.

Angela gained her degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication from the University of the West of England, Bristol and has been lucky enough to have worked in some fantastic design companies with some really inspiring creative directors and designers. “I love typography and find myself spending far too much time (and money) on buying typefaces. I now practice modern calligraphy and incorporate it into my own design work, to give it a more unique feel.”

Mark attended Brunel Technical College in Bristol and immediately secured an apprenticeship working with a local print and repro company, where he cut his teeth and learned his trade. After a few years he became a director and relocated the business into the heart of Bath, where it flourished and served the community with high quality print for many years. This is where his love for the more traditional hot foil printing began and the skill set he brings to Lovestruck as our in house foil blocking specialist, for all things shiny!

...oh, and our dog

Meet Hinkley our Hungarian Wire Haired Vizsla. He pretty much goes everywhere with me (they nickname them velcro dogs for that very reason!)
