Once Upon a Dandelion is a small family-owned business based in Northern Ireland, founded by Lisa and Philip. The business was born out of their desire to create a positive and inspiring environment for their children, and this mindset is reflected in their work.

Philip is a skilled woodworker, creative dreamer, and jack-of-all-trades who is constantly improving their techniques and bringing new products to the business. He takes on many roles, including equipment developer, maker, screen printer, and in-house barista, to name just a few.

Lisa is a passionate and relentless designer with a love for classic design and a penchant for hand lettering. She is responsible for the creative side of the business, designing new products and bringing fresh designs to life. She is also the admin monkey, web designer, and social media manager, among other things.

Together, Lisa and Philip create unique and inspiring wood signs and artwork that are inspired by the natural beauty surrounding them in The Mournes. Their first piece of artwork was a dandelion, which remains a beloved symbol for the business. Their quotes and designs aim to encourage, inspire, and challenge people to be themselves and embrace positivity every day.
