About Doodleshoe

Jane at her desk

Hello! I am Jane & I am Doodleshoe Paper Goods.

I am a juggler of all things, just like many middle aged women… mum, family organizer, house tidier, maker of boring meals, taxi, shoe designer, teaching assistant, plate painter and greetings card publisher. I have many roles but this one is where I get to be creative, just for me.

If there is one thing I like to do, it’s to put a smile on someone’s face. Cards have been so important to me throughout my life. I have treasured many a card from loved ones, kept them in shoe boxes, carted them from home to home and taken them out from time to time to feel their love.  

It all started with my teenage girlfriends (to whom I still send & receive cards), we drew our own and sent them to each other to celebrate birthdays, exams and give each other pep talks when life got tough.

'She thought she could so she did'

'She thought she could so she did'

After an MA at The Royal College of Art and 20 years working as a footwear designer, I decided to see if I could make a living at a slower pace, enabling me to be there for my family. I wanted to have fun drawing, designing and creating high quality, sustainable products.

Each card starts off as a doodle and ends up professionally printed in the UK on FSC approved paper stock. I took a huge amount of time to research and source environmentally friendly packaging, every card is supplied with an eco friendly recycled envelope and a plastic free, compostable protective sleeve.

I hope that you like my work and that it puts a smile on your face!

Love, Jane x
