Making Art to Make You Smile

Cheerful design with heart (and puns)

Meet Richard Darani – the illustrator bringing joy, colour, and a little bit of mischief to the everyday. Based in the UK, Richard creates cheerful, kawaii-inspired greeting cards and illustrations that are full of warmth and wit. Every design is hand-drawn with a smile in mind, mixing cute characters and playful messages to say what words sometimes can’t.

Playful, personal, perfectly British

What began as a love of doodling has grown into a colourful collection of cards, prints, and gifts designed to make people happy. From birthdays to “just because”, these joyful designs are proof that sometimes the smallest things bring the biggest smiles.

Designed to spread joy

Each piece is lovingly designed in the UK, printed on quality materials, and packaged with care. From Richard’s studio to your letterbox, every product supports a small business built entirely on creativity, kindness, and big-hearted humour.
