Papier hq started out by designing prints for friends and family as gifts or custom pieces. This was where it really began. My background is Textile Design so it was a very natural progression for me. My previous role had me working across a wide variety of areas of the business including product development, design, marketing, account management. It really set me up to be able to look after a variety of areas in my own business.
