We are Anna O’Byrne, a fine artist and maker and graphic designer Brian Heffernan. We live in a small house in Dublin, Ireland with our daughter Eve and cat Sita.
We began by making cards to help mark occasions with weight and sincerity. The result of conversation and our shared appreciation for the tactility of paper, the work occupies a space somewhere between art and design. Brian’s role involves the generation of form and the space between the products while Anna works with a focus on colour and ensuring each product is a statement in its own right. Sustainability, craft and community lie at heart of the ethos that informs the work. Our products are inspired by the shared human experience and celebrate the everyday highs and lows that make up our lives.
We’re always open to new challenges, so get in touch if you have something specific in mind. If you’re a maker and would like to talk about collaborating, we’d love to hear from you. We post new projects to Instagram, check it out to see what happens next.
Much love A&B.
Handcrafted objects that help make meaningful personal connections.
Celebrate sustainable
We use Colorplan 270gms paper for all cards and Colorplan 135gms for all envelopes. Colorplan paper has FSC certification so the pulps are from managed forests. We use as little packaging as possible, but the packaging we do use is made with recycled material and any plastic we use is biodegradable.
Celebrate craft
We believe that carefully made, handcrafted objects can make meaningful personal connections. A formal but heartfelt acknowledgement, or a more personal intimate moment, the care we take in selecting materials and making gives messages a unique weight and authenticity.
Celebrate community
All our products are made by hand in a studio shared with other makers on the Liffey in Dublin. Where possible we source our materials locally and personally support local makers and businesses. When you invest in our products, you are also supporting a vibrant community of makers.
