Lifestyle products: Stationery and gifts by Gotamago

October 15, 2025 in Lifestyle, Commercial

Gotamago has been making cute, illustrated stationery and ethically and sustainably-made gifts for years and have since branched off into their online shop, Silver Antelope.

From food-themed postcards to flower-themed tea towels, their products are beautifully designed by owner and founder, Lichia.

A screenshot of an article in Designlines Magazine, featuring Hatfield Design and Co.

Featured: Designlines x HD+CO

September 04, 2025 in Featured, Interiors

From photo to featured

I photographed Emily from Hatfield Design and Co and when she was featured in Designlines Magazine, a few of our images were chosen for the article.

The process of this brand portrait and showroom photoshoot included these steps:

  1. Pre-production: Before the photoshoot, a shoot brief is created to include what shots we need, props, styling, angles, etc. An inspiration board provides examples that we can refer back to.

  2. Set up: On the day of the shoot, we set up the scenes based on our shoot brief.

  3. Lighting: Lighting is a key part of every shoot. It creates the mood and look we want.

  4. Capturing our shots: Now, it’s your time to shine. Don’t overthink it. Let your personality come through.

It’s ok if you don’t want to add colour to your kitchen. If you like neutrals or black and (off) white, there are ways to incorporate them like @belyndacheninteriors did here.

The island is black, but with some detail on the side to add
