I’m Carla, a smiler, daydreamer and doodler from Derby or more seriously, a freelance illustrator, community artist and the proud creator of Love Lalaland, a world where anything is possible.
My colourful designs and happy things help boost emotional wealth with positivity while celebrating our individuality and finding the extraordinary in the everyday ordinary.
Love Lalaland was born in 2017 while I was on maternity leave. I was always a crafty kid but after getting an E in GCSE Art I didn’t follow my dreams of becoming an artist.
Now I’ve discovered my unique superpower, I’m pursuing my passion embracing my perfectly imperfect playful drawing style and doing what I love.
I create motivational prints, stationery and personalised gifts to encourage connection, in my happy place, my home studio, fondly called the Doodle Den.
I also work with charities, voluntary/community groups and not-for-profit organisations on commissions of all sizes because I love a challenge these include sculptures, murals, underpasses and wheelbarrows!
My mission is simple: to make the world a brighter, happier place and inspire the next generation of doodlers by using my creativity for good.
Join me on my creative adventures, love & sprinkles Carla xxx 🌈 💖
