Belinda Northcote is a botanical artist who uses watercolours, pen and ink in her work to make limited edition fine art prints, flower and insect drawings, a timeless Beatrix Potter-style collection of children’s prints, and more recently, greeting cards. Belinda has also created a textile range of 100% Italian silk, wool and linen mix scarves.

Bláithín Ennis’ unique approach and ability to source, manipulate and combine unusual materials, to produce wearable, affordable, striking jewellery, immediately set her apart upon graduation. With mixtures of delicate and robust metals, sparkling crystals and soft whimsical shell mesh, her pieces have an avantgarde, ethnic motivation behind them.

While studying business at university, Alix Mulholland wrote the business plan for Bog Standard, a fragranced giftware range that includes scented candles, scented drawer sachets and room fragrances. She recently added car fragrances to her product mix. To this day, Irish Linen continues to be her number one selling fragrance.

Bold Bunny Ali Jones

Breda Haugh Jewellery Design Breda Haugh

Brooke & Shoals Alison Banton

Graphic designer Ali Jones’ cards are typographic, wordy and play on Dublin slang such as: “Good Luck in Your New Gaff”, “Love You Lots Like Jellytots”. Filling a contemporary and secular gap in the market, Bold Bunny greeting cards offer Irish-printed relief in a digital world of soon-forgotten communication.

Breda Haugh’s elegant jewellery is handmade in silver and gold in her studio workshop in the Design Tower, Dublin. She passionately explores different concepts in her work, with surface textures bringing tactility and atmosphere to the pieces. Breda is also a jeweller for the National Museum of Ireland.

Lately, she launched an organic body range using seaweed extract, grapefruit and rose geranium.
