“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”
– Louisa May Alcott
Giverly designs are inspired by the beauty of nature and the magic of folklore.
Currently this includes British Cottagecore illustrations, Scottish coastal folklore and maximalist local birds with tropical plants.
In response to this nature based inspiration, all Giverly products are made using thoughtfully sourced materials. Beauty should never come at the cost of the planet. Giverly is working hard on sustainable design to be low-carbon, and working towards a plastic-free approach.
Giverly designs are created from hand-drawn, digital illustrations made by Jenny Lyus.
I live in Dunbar with a sea-view of the Scottish coast and much of my inspiration comes from local wildlife, British folklore and folk music. My repeat patterns are hand drawn digitally on my iPad as motifs, then vectorised and turned into repeat patterns which can then be placed onto different gift and home items.
I am a disabled designer. Working digitally from home makes surface design more accessible for me.

Giverly puts a priority on avoiding single-use, plastic-packaging, finding low-carbon manufacturing, and creating eco-friendly home decor items.
Sustainability and surface design go hand in hand here.
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
