About Doodling Lucy

Hey, I'm Lucy!

Welcome to Doodling Lucy,  I'm so glad you're here.

I'm Lucy, the illustrator and founder behind Doodling Lucy, a small British business creating beautifully illustrated stationery, homeware and gifts inspired by the countryside and the simple joys of everyday life.

Whether it's a cheerful greetings card, a list pad to keep on top of things, or a tea towel destined for a country kitchen, every design begins as an original hand-drawn illustration created by me.

Where it all began

Doodling Lucy began back in 2016, although the story really started much earlier.

I've always loved making things. Growing up, I was forever creating handmade cards, personalised gifts and scrapbooks for family and friends. Eventually, I decided to share my illustrations online. With no grand plan and no clue what to call my new Instagram account, I rather spontaneously chose the name Doodling Lucy... and somehow it stuck!

A couple of years later, I packed my sketchbook and headed to Australia for a year. Even on the other side of the world I couldn't stop creating, painting whenever I could and even designing wedding stationery from thousands of miles away.

Then, in 2020, everything changed.

When I was placed on furlough during the pandemic, I finally had the time to give Doodling Lucy the attention it had always deserved. What had started as a creative hobby and weekend side project quickly grew into my full-time business, it's safe to say I haven't looked back since.

More than just stationery

Today, Doodling Lucy is built around creating products that bring a little more joy to everyday life.

My illustrations are inspired by the British countryside, changing seasons, farming communities and the beauty of slowing down. Every collection is thoughtfully designed with quality, sustainability and longevity in mind, creating pieces that you'll love to use, give as gifts and keep.

At the heart of everything I create are three values:

Backing British farming – celebrating the countryside and the people who help shape it.

Supporting positive mental health – encouraging open conversations and helping remove the stigma surrounding mental health through the causes and charities I support.

Sustainability – making thoughtful choices wherever possible, from the products I create to the packaging they arrive in.

Thank you

Whether you've discovered Doodling Lucy while searching for the perfect gift, a little treat for yourself, or you're simply browsing, thank you so much for supporting a small independent business.

Every order, kind message and recommendation genuinely means the world and allows me to continue doing what I love every single day.

I hope my illustrations bring a little joy to your home.

Lots of love,

Lucy x
