Hi, I'm Hayley, founder of Funzley, professional doodler, lifelong storyteller, and general bringer of fun.
For over 20 years, I’ve been behind the scenes designing best-selling products for children and adults, from colourful children’s books and gifts to partyware, stationery and celebration collections. I've worked with some of the biggest names in publishing and retail, from Walmart and Target to global brands like American Greetings and Buffalo Games. Along the way, I've had multiple licensing deals, showcased my work at trade shows in Paris and New York, and seen my creations reach families all over the world (even if my Mandarin still needs work!). I've spent years helping bring other people's ideas and dreams to life...
Until now.
After years of creating for some of the biggest names in the industry, which I'm incredibly proud of, it's finally time to bring my own ideas, illustrations and colourful creations into the world. Funzley is my passion project, my creative playground, and my time to shine! It's a joyful, family-run brand proudly based in the UK, created to celebrate people of all ages, their personalities, interests and those special moments worth remembering.
At Funzley, I do what I've always loved most — dream up quirky characters, create bold and colourful illustrations, and tell stories that make people smile. From personalised jigsaws celebrating little birthdays and big milestones to beautifully illustrated books for children and adults, everything is designed with love, personality and purpose. Because whether you're 5 or 50, I believe life should always have room for a little fun, imagination and magic.
Thank you for supporting a small business with a big imagination. I'm so proud to bring Funzley to life, one joyful idea at a time!
Lots of love, Hayley xx
