Wiggly Lines Studio didn’t start as a business idea

It started as a way to keep making things when everything else felt loud, fast, and a little overwhelming.

I’ve always been drawn to illustration, animals, gentle humour, soft colours, and smaller details that make everyday life feel lighter. Drawing was something I returned to when I needed grounding, not productivity. It was never about trends or chasing algorithms; it was about making something that felt calm, comforting, and a bit playful.

For a long time, I created quietly.

I finished my degree in Art and Design at the University of Salford in Manchester in 2025, but even then, sharing my work publicly didn’t come easily. There’s a strange pressure that comes with turning something personal into something visible. Once you name it, once you sell it, it suddenly feels like it has to perform.

So I waited.

Wiggly Lines Studio grew slowly. Through sketchbooks, digital illustrations, experimenting with paper, vinyl, finishes, and learning how things actually feel in your hands once they’re printed. I wanted my work to feel good physically, not just look good on a screen.

That’s why quality matters so much to me.

The stickers are thick, durable, and sparkly in a subtle way. The prints are made on 230gsm matte paper because I love how it absorbs colour softly and feels substantial without being heavy. These choices aren’t about being “premium” for the sake of it; they’re about making objects that feel considered and comforting.

It also took time to realise that this studio doesn’t have to be one thing.

Alongside stickers and prints, I took part in building ArtQuest, a free Android app designed to help artists draw without pressure. It generates gentle prompts, lets you save your work privately, and rewards consistency rather than perfection. It exists for the same reason WigglyLines Studio does: to make creativity feel approachable instead of intimidating.

Sharing all of this took time because it’s personal.

This is about softness in a world that often demands speed. It’s about humour that feels familiar rather than loud. It’s about making small things, like a sticker on a laptop or a print on a wall, that quietly improve a space or a day.

Thank you for being here, whether you’ve been following quietly or just found your way here today. This studio exists because slow, thoughtful creativity deserves space too.

And remember! “Every line has a story”
