Helen McGinley

Starting in Tasmania, via London and now based in a studio in an old cutlery factory in Sheffield, Mister Peebles products all start life as hand painted watercolour illustrations, inspired by the animal kingdom along with a love of puns and word play. Everything is designed and printed in the UK and stocked in shops across the world. Alongside the product business, she also illustrates for publishers and is working on a children’s book.
