Bringing the wildness of the British landscape into your home
Some things are too beautiful to keep to yourself.
The frost on a winter fern. A native horse in morning mist. The deep Prussian blue of a cyanotype fixed by pale northern sun.
Wild Hearts Designs was born from a desire to bring those moments indoors, into the objects you hold, the corners of your home that make you pause, the card you send to someone you love.
Everything here is made by hand. Every piece carries the evidence of a human hand — crafted by artists who care deeply about their work, brought together by a shared belief that how something is made matters as much as how it looks.
Botanicals gathered on Pennine moorland. Ancient processes, unhurried hands. Artists who care deeply about their craft.
This is not a shop. It is a small, carefully curated collection of beautiful things — made slowly, made well, made to last.

Artist Note
Some of my earliest memories are of the Pennine moorland, its vast skies, its stillness, the way the seasons announce themselves so quietly and yet so completely. That landscape has never left me.
Neither have the horses. Britain's native breeds have walked these wild places for thousands of years, shaped by the same weather, the same light, the same land. There is something in their quiet presence that feels like belonging.
Everything I make begins with a walk, noticing what is emerging, what is fading, what the season is quietly offering. The botanicals I gather carry the memory of the landscape they grew in. The processes I work with, cyanotype, encaustic, the slow and the handmade, cannot be rushed. In that slowness, I find something I hadn't known I was looking for. A reason to be still. A reason to pay attention.
Wild Hearts Designs grew from that stillness — and from a deep belief that beautiful objects should be made by skilled hands. The artists I work alongside share that belief. Together, we make things that could not exist any other way.
