About Dainty Bee Design
Hi, I’m Karen - I am the creative behind Dainty Bee Design.
I am based in the North East of England: Newcastle upon Tyne / County Durham, and my wedding stationery can be delivered UK wide.
My background is in print, which is where I have spent my whole working life: artwork design, project management and pre-press. During this time, I have worked across both large and small format print (Litho, Digital and Screen). Some of the items I have worked on may have been posted through your door, used on your gas meter, you may have seen some in shops and supermarkets and on buses or billboards around the UK. That vast experience gave me a solid foundation, but what I truly love now is putting those skills into something more personal; creating wedding stationery that feels heartfelt, unique, and beautifully designed to reflect each couple’s story.
Outside of work I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s wandering along the North East’s stunning beaches, exploring the countryside with my family or finding a little calm on my yoga mat. Yoga is my gentle reminder of remaining flexible, balance and precision. That same approach flows into my work at Dainty Bee Design.
I have recently rekindled my love of photography, and I love to get out and about with my camera. Monochrome photography has always been of interest to me since doing a GSCE at school (many years ago, and leaving with an A+ in the subject)! I just love the contrast and dynamic aspects that black and white photos give you. I am developing a passion for Street Photography, with it's diverse and arty take on life. Wedding Photography is on my radar too - so watch this space!
Design and photography go hand in hand for me, and I am lucky to be able to assist with photography at some wonderful local schools and nurseries around the North East. It’s been an exciting new avenue that brings fresh inspiration into my creative journey, sitting perfectly alongside my creative design work at Dainty Bee Design.
Drop me a message. I’d love to chat and design something that’s perfectly you!!!
