the story behind the goose

I'm Imogen, and I work from my home studio in the small town of Ramsbottom. I’m an illustrator, designer and creator - Every Goose is my small business, uniting my skills to provide fun products and bespoke design work! The answer to the question, ‘where did you get your name from?’ is a simple one… I found myself doodling ducks and geese a lot, so when the time came to think of a name for my venture, the goose theme stuck!

QUALIFICATIONS. I have a strong design background, having studied Visual Communications: Illustration at Loughborough University (after a year’s Art Foundation course of sampling a wide range of specialisms from textiles to ceramics to graphic design), graduating with a first in 2014. I’ve worked in various graphic design roles since, including wedding stationery and giftware, finally plucking up the courage to go it alone in January 2019, when Every Goose was born! I now enjoy my role as a freelance illustrator, designing my own range of greetings cards, wedding stationery and prints, but also working on bespoke commissions no matter how big or small!

SPARE TIME. I'm a crafter, sewer, baker and gardener in my spare time, always accompanied by a cup of tea. I love the sunshine, being on my travels, reading a good book and spending time with my biggest cheerleaders - my amazing family and friends!
