hello
I’m Laura, founder and Creative Director of Dot & Peg. After many years working in creative design agencies in London, I launched my North Devon studio in Braunton to help startups and independent businesses get their messages out and their personalities across. My passion is bringing brands to life with fun, vibrant graphic design.
WHO ARE DOT & PEG?
Dot and Peg are the names of my grannies. Dot raised my dad and his sister on her own and ran an ice cream parlour, Valente’s, in Tankerton in Kent. With limited resources, she managed to give her kids a really good upbringing.
On my mum’s side, my granny Peg was known for being hardworking, honest, passionate and caring. At home she was an amazing cook, but she also ran a successful small business, a Post Office called Wessons.
