Meet the Maker

Hi! I'm Ria, the face and hands behind Periodic Prints, a small business creating thoughtful gifts for life’s little joys.

This all started during my maternity leave with my now very energetic 18 month old. I'd always worked in social media and marketing, but during those early days of motherhood, I picked up an iPad to illustrate something for my sister’s business. She asked me to design a card and just like that, my first greeting card was born.

Since then, I’ve grown Periodic Prints into a place for quirky cards, cheerful nursery decor, and playful gifts — all inspired by the everyday magic of life, childhood, and those small but meaningful moments. My son inspires so much of what I create, and as a stay-at-home toddler mum, I pour a lot of love (and nap-time hustle!) into every design.

The thought that my work might be there for someone’s birthday, celebration, or hanging in a child’s room as they grow up? That means the world to me.

Thanks for being here, and for supporting small, homegrown creativity.
