About Us

Hi! My name is Rachael Smith. I’m an illustrator and designer from Brisbane, Australia. I’m the creator and curator of all the lovely things at Penelope and Pip.

I make pretty paper goods that feature playful colour palettes in a world full of magic; where bold bears, whimsical whales, lost llamas and top hat wearing moustaches merchants reside. All of the products sold in our shop are printed locally in Brisbane, Australia, using environmentally friendly papers and printing processes, and then assembled by hand just for you.

You may have seen Penelope and Pip featured on lovely places like Apartment Therapy, The Huffington Post, Couch Magazine and The Simple Things to name a few.

We blog daily and we’d love to have you along to play with us as we dabble in our art, design and DIY adventures.
