Hello! I’m Sophie, the illustrator and designer behind Inky Acorn Designs.
What began as a search for unique & colourful wedding stationery for my own big day has grown into a creative studio full of colour, character and illustrated charm. I’ve always loved maps, architecture and landscapes, and they’ve become a natural focus of my work.
Since founding Inky Acorn Designs in 2018, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with so many wonderful couples on custom wedding stationery that’s as meaningful as it is memorable. That’s still a big part of what I do, but in recent years I’ve also expanded into illustrated map art prints and a growing wholesale collection, now stocked by lovely shops around the UK.
Many of my illustrations draw inspiration from traditional lino printing — the creative spark that first pulled me into the world of illustration. In fact, the name “Inky Acorn” came from one of the very first lino designs I ever carved: a little acorn, printed onto a card for a wedding. That very acorn still lives on in my logo today (just a little smoother!).
You can also find me in person at markets, including the monthly King John’s Nursery Farmers & Makers Market, and at select events across London, East Sussex and Kent throughout the year. Please check my instagram for updates. I love meeting people and chatting all things maps, printing and paper goods.
If you’re interested in custom stationery, commissioning a piece, collaborating, or stocking my work, just drop me a message below or email me at inkyacorndesigns@gmail.com - I'd love to hear from you!​​​​​​​
