Hi, I’m Amie


I started Pink Octopus Art to create happy designs that make people smile — inspired by colour, nature, patterns, and a lifelong love of creativity. What began as digital art has grown into a studio full of ideas, from children’s books and fabric designs to gifts and handmade plans for the future. Thanks for supporting a small creative business — it truly means the world 💕

Designed with heart, not mass-produced

Every design you see here starts life in my sketchbook or on my iPad. Some pieces are printed and shipped by trusted partners to reduce waste, while others are handmade right here in my little Pink Octopus studio.

Either way — everything is created with love, colour, and a touch of whimsy 🐙✨

A playful studio full of colour & happy designs


Designed by artist Amie in the UK, Pink Octopus Art brings joyful illustrations, patterns, and gifts to life — from cosy mugs and wall art to fabric designs, digital downloads, and handmade treasures
