I’m Carla, a smiler, daydreamer and doodler from Derby or more seriously, a freelance illustrator, community artist and the indie biz owner of Love Lalaland - a colourful world, where anything is possible! My colourful designs and happy things are made for colour lovers who like Kawaii style and cartoon-like fun to spread good vibes. Everything is created in my home studio, called the Doodle Den. My sketchbook explodes with a rainbow of ideas, that turn into stationery, homewares, prints, accessories and personalised gifts, all handmade with #LalalandLove.

Derby Ram Trail

I'm one of 30 artists selected for the Derby Ram Trail, Derby’s first public sculpture trail in May 2021 in partnership with Wild in Art and Derby Museums. Doodle Derby takes you on a tour of all the brilliant things you can do in the city and celebrates a diverse colourful place of happiness and positivity, an inspiring Derby!
