About Made by Millie Rose
Welcome to Made by Millie Rose.
Hello, my name is Millie, the creator of Made by Millie Rose.
I have always had an interest in Art and Design, which continued into my university studies; where I studied Design&Craft at the University of Brighton. However I only completed one year of this because I became very unwell due to my mental health.
Having been diagnosed with a range of mental health illnesses, including Anorexia Nervosa; I spent the next couple of years at home working on my recovery.
It was during this time that I became aware of the sufficient lack of cards for those suffering with their mental health in particular. Although I am very much of the opinion that mental health should be treated with the same status as physical health, sometimes a "get well soon" card isn't quite what you want to say.
I started doodling motivational, positive and meaningful quotes and sayings that resonated with me; but also that I wanted to send out to others who I knew were struggling in some way. This turned into me having people order cards that they wanted to send out to their own friends and family.
Every order I receive I hand make specially for that person, so I can make it completely bespoke to them.
I would love for my cards to make someone who is really struggling feel a small sense of hope. Also to know that no matter what their mind may be telling them, there are so many people that care and believe in them.
Having been in such a low place I am so aware of just how much a small gesture can mean.
