NICE TO MEET YOU...
It's so good to have you here!
I'm Freya; founder and designer at Deabill & Quince, award winning graphic designer, mum of 2 mini's, wife, and lover of leopard print & fizz.
I am a true admirer of craftsmanship, a nature enthusiast and love nothing better than to be in front of a log fire.
WHAT I DO...
LET ME INSPIRE YOU
I have always been a pattern lover and my signature PATINA collection is the culmination of 20 years adventure in the creative design industry. Creating bespoke & highly personal repeat patterns for my couples and combining them with luxurious stationery designs has simply been a revelation and the success of this way of working is testament to itself.
With over 2 decades experience in delivering creative briefs I will deliver an experience for your guests that is second to none, leaving your entire guest list inspired and excited from the moment their save the date drops through their letterbox.
WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW...
I AM A SPECIALIST
After delivering over 100 weddings and working in the wedding stationery industry for over a decade I would like to be able to call myself an expert. I specialise in creating bespoke patterns incorporating details from your personalities, heritage or indeed the day itself - often taking inspiration from the venues wallpaper, architecture or even the embroidery on the wedding dress.
With a professional background in cartography and mapping I can also create the most beautiful bespoke maps to make the invitation experience as cohesive as possible.
I love to create intrigue and provoke happiness throughout my ranges and often help my couples choose wording that is less ‘traditional’ in place of more humorous, memorable or personal messages which resonate with their couples and guests.
HISTORY...
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
For over 10 years I worked in some of the most renowned design consultancies in London before starting up on my own in 2012 and founding The Brand New Studio Ltd (my more corporate alter ego) and Deabill & Quince.

OUT OF HOURS...
MUM LIFE
I am married to Steve, a superb Cabinet Maker, and we have 2 bundles of madness; Rowan and Hafren who keep us on our toes from around 6am everyday!
We live in a 1950's house in Oxfordshire built on the edge of a WW2 runway (!) right on the doorstep of the beautiful Ridgeway and Cotswolds.
Our winters are filled with muddy walks and log fires whilst the summer is generally spent in the garden with the BBQ.
