Hi, I’m Lou.
I was a mechanical engineer in the Navy for 17 years but an injury has taken me down a different path. If you told Navy-Lou, that she’d now be considered ‘creative,’ she’d have had a big laugh.
Finding book binding (which plays to my engineering pattern brain) has allowed me to make books that are treasured and gives me a meaningful activity on which to focus. I hand make books whose spines burst with memories and that have pages filled with love, in colour combos worthy of fire emojis and exclamation marks.
Let me hand bind you a book to give your memories a home.
These books are already made, ready to be posted to you.
