Hey! I’m Katie- digital artist, planner addict, and biscuit-fuelled small biz owner.
I run Mama Bear Creates, where I turn my doodles into stationery, gifts, and accessories that make real life feel a little more fun.
If you’re juggling ten things at once and still colour coding your to-do list, we’re probably on the same wavelength!
This is creative chaos turned into cute, practical bits to help you smile, stay sane(ish) and feel seen.

A little about my journey...

I had never thought of myself as a particularly creative person; although I’ve always been the type that would look at something I wanted to buy and think “Maybe I could make that!”. Over the years I’ve made a few different homemade gifts; sometimes they worked out and sometimes not so much! (And if anyone else is like this...I probably tried to save a tenner and ended up spending £40 on all the supplies! 🤣)

My real creative journey began in January 2019 when I suddenly realised I hadn’t made a New Year’s resolution. Rob suggested I try card making as a little hobby to do in the evenings once the boys were in bed, and something to help calm my anxious brain. So I picked up a few supplies, gave it a go, and before I knew it I was completely hooked.

Fast forward to September 2019 and Mama Bear Creates was born, originally with the idea of making quirky, one-of-a-kind handmade cards you wouldn’t spot on the high street. But oh, how things have changed since then! During lockdown I treated myself to an iPad and Apple Pencil, taught myself digital illustration (because I saw others doing it and thought, “Well, I could probably do that too”), and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Now I get to bring my illustrations into everything I create and share a little piece of me with you.

So have a little wander through my website, enjoy what you find, and if you’ve got any questions, just drop me a message, I’d love to hear from you.

Love, Katie x
