Icka Print - Designer Maker of Joy
Jess'ICKA' believes in creating products that will put a spring in your step and a smile on your face and that's exactly where her happy-packed collection of homeware & greetings lands. She has hand painted a collection picked up by many major retailers in 2025. I look forward to spotting where this creative powerhouse goes in 2026.

Kate Eldridge Studio - Bold Florals
I love how Kate brings big, bold brushstrokes to her traditional florals. Something AI will never grasp, the irregularity of her textured swaths of matt grounds, paired with sparingly delicate details.
Stunning!
