Hey everyone! Sorry for the long silence—thanks for sticking with us!
We’ve been pretty quiet on the OctoMuffin front lately, mostly because we weren’t sure what direction the business was headed.
Simon and I (Lianne) started OctoMuffin back in 2012, along with our beloved dog Lola, with a dream of working with small businesses, artists, and bands while creating our own branded goods.
Our services took off so well that we ended up putting our own dreams on hold for a while. In the meantime, I launched , Simon started , and we kept running OctoMuffin too.
As those projects grew, we were torn about the future of screen printing. But, something kept pulling us back—mainly our incredible clients and our own love for the craft (it was even discussed on our first date!).
We also knew we wanted a change of scenery and debated whether OctoMuffin would move with us. This summer, we made the leap to Suffolk, where we’re loving life by the coast. Sadly, we lost our sweet Lola in 2022, but our new pup Maple has joined the adventure.
While our studio remains in Kent for now, we’ve had many heart-to-hearts and realised OctoMuffin is part of who we are. Screen printing is in our blood, and we’re not ready to say goodbye to it.
So, here’s the plan: we’ll be more active on socials, revamp the website, and bring some exciting new offers your way. Plus, we’re looking to relocate the studio to Suffolk once we find the perfect spot.
Thanks for sticking with us through the journey. We can’t wait to share what’s next!
Much love,
Lianne, Simon & Maple x
