artsidestudio is the umbrella under which I create. As a graphic designer I love to design for print, I also love to make things, to create something new from found objects and materials close at hand, I love the challenge of using materials that have been discarded by others and making objects, tools or things that are useful, interesting and hopefully beautiful.

I am constantly looking at ways to live more lightly on the earth, I try to capture the essence of what it is to be sustainable, although I find it a bit difficult to feel truly comfortable with using the word... so I have recently taken on the idea of 'voluntary simplicity' where possible I try to buy reusable items, create less waste and use less plastic, and to buy and use local.

Feltbox is a bit of an odd name but it is a container overflowing with of all of the things woolly, knitty and felty that come from artsidestudio.
