Hello, I’m Maddy

I’m an illustrator and designer based in beautiful South Devon. After completing my degree in Graphic Arts in 2009, I spent several years working in retail management before returning to my true passion in 2015, when I designed my own wedding stationery.

The name Rose & Beau is especially close to my heart—it comes from my middle name, Rose, and my beloved dog, Beau (pictured below, and now in doggy heaven).

Illustration is at the heart of everything I do. I’m particularly inspired by florals and nature, drawing from the hedgerows and countryside around me. I work mainly in watercolour, creating delicate, whimsical pieces that echo the charm of childhood favourites like Shirley Hughes and Brambly Hedge.

I’ve developed a collection of ‘House Collection’ wedding stationery designs, with new pieces always in progress. I also offer a bespoke service—perfect if you’d like something truly personal to make your wedding day extra special.

Alongside weddings, I create one-off commissions, greeting cards, and artwork for businesses, including point-of-sale design and marketing materials for both print and online.

If you’d like to see my full portfolio or chat about a project, I’d love to hear from you!
