Helping rescue dogs tell their stories

A Project with Purpose

For Meadow of Hope, I created social media templates to help introduce the dogs looking for homes. Each one gives space to share their personality, needs and little quirks, helping potential adopters get to know the dog behind the photo.

“Each template thoughtfully highlights every dog as an individual, showcasing their unique personalities and specific needs as they search for their forever homes.”

Hello, I’m Laura

The person behind Polka Dot Teapot Studio, gardening enthusiast and human to Aries.

I’ve always got a few ideas on the go. Some become projects for clients, others turn into planners, illustrations or parcels of happy post. This studio gives them all a home.

Away from my desk, you’ll usually find me in the garden or out walking with Aries, often coming back with another idea to add to the list.
