Sharing beauty and joy

Hello, I’m Clare the founder of Clare Jones Paris and this how it all came about.

Originally from Wales I moved to Marseille to study when I was in my early twenties. That journey led me to Paris, where I began a career in marketing and communication.

It wasn’t until lockdown 2020 that I started drawing and making cards for my family in Wales. Keeping in touch with them this way gave me such a happy feeling and they were delighted to receive my surprise gifts through the post.

Two years later, I decided to leave my corporate job to study graphic design and illustration at école Estienne. I opened my studio working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator in 2023. I launched my first collection of illustrated paper gifts, illustrated greeting cards and watercolour art prints the beginning of 2026.

My designs are inspired by the beauty I see in everyday life and the joyful moments I share with family and friends. I hope my collection will in turn bring joy to you and your loved ones.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my small business!

Beautifully made paper gifts

Every design is imagined, illustrated and brought to life in my studio. All of my products are printed in small, limited editions or made to order.

I work with local printers, FSC-certified paper and vegetal inks, whenever possible and use eco-friendly packaging.

My goal is to minimise environmental impact while delivering beautifully made high-quality paper cards, prints and gifts.
