Fizzi-Jayne

fun greeting cards and gifts illustrated by fizzi~jayne to brighten up your day!

fizzi~jayne was founded by me, Fiona. My business name can confuse people and I get called Jayne a lot, which is fine. It is a play on my name - Fizz was my nickname at school and Jayne is my middle name. I will respond to Fizz, Fiona, Fi or Jayne.

The business all started from a tiny desk in my spare room. As the business has grown, I've slowly been taking over the room and it is now my home office & studio. I'm originally a midlands girl but I'm now based in a pretty village in Hertfordshire, in the UK.

Every illustration starts as a pen drawing before I import it into the computer where I add colour and get it print ready.

I am fizzi~jayne and a one woman band. As well as illustrating and designing, I am the one that lovingly packages your parcel and takes them to my local post office. I am also the administrator, cleaner, marketing exec, customer services and dog walker for Jenson, and I love it! (except maybe the cleaning! ).

fizzi~jayne came about from my need to be creative and a way to escape the real world, which let’s be honest can be stressful and overwhelming sometimes. I want to create products that are fun and sprinkle happiness to brighten up someone’s day.

In my everyday life, as well as my business, I am trying to cut down waste and reduce the plastic that I use. All my cards ordered online are wrapped in paper bags and posted in a hard-back envelope which can be recycled. For my stockists, events and my all my A4 prints I use biodegradable & compostable corn starch bags to protect them. I recycle and reuse packaging I receive where I can and any packaging I purchase comes from UK supplies and is recyclable.

Using UK suppliers not only supports local economy but reduces my carbon footprint. I am always researching how I can make changes to reduce waste and limit my impact on the planet.

Originally when I started my business, I used to make everything but as my business grew, I needed to outsource some of the production. Everything you see in my shop is designed by me, fizzi~jayne, but a lot of items are now manufactured by other British businesses. I'm passionate about sourcing from UK suppliers and the manufacturers I work with print my products in the UK. This has allowed me to broaden my product range and this year I launched mugs!
