I’m Cheryl, a 30-something gal from Macclesfield, Cheshire. I love doodling, nachos, colourful knitwear & making people smile!

The Happy Badger started in the depths of lock-down when I got furloughed from my retail management role. After I ran out of decorating jobs to do around the house, I found myself itching to do something else creative.

I have a background in retail, from buying and stock planning to working on a shop floor with products; this experience and knowledge has really helped form The Happy Badger! Whilst I was so unhappy working for other people, I would not be where I am without those jobs and the people and friends I've met along the way!

I struggle with my mental health, but re-discovering a love for drawing has helped me through some rough patches & I love creating something that can bring someone else some joy as well!

I've been lucky enough to take part in markets locally, do branding for other businesses, make literally thousands of stickers for people, do custom artwork for weddings and gifts AND somehow manage to have time to relax and spend time with friends and family - something I struggled to do working for other people!

Who knows what's next in store!
