Riddle & Ravens was born during the summer of 2020 - during that lockdown.

 

Reading in the garden to pass the time, furloughed from the day job - this graphic designer found herself buried in books (which was nothing unusual) and with a lot of trapped creativity wanting to get out.

It was April 24th - St Marks Eve, and the first page of The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater had just been turned. Sometimes life throws us coincidences - and this was one of them. That same date appears on that first page and is very significant to the book.
Even more coincidental - a pair of Ravens had decided to call this garden their home for the past few weeks.
What could this all mean? Well, I don't know, but after realizing nothing quite inspires me like the stories that are found between the pages of novels, I decided to combine my two loves - Books and design, and this is where it all started.

​

Since then, Riddle & Ravens has grown and developed and is a part of a fantastic bookish community which I cannot imagine life without.

 

Riddle & Ravens - The name borrows influence from works of literature such as The Raven Boys, and a certain wizarding world character (we love a bad guy sometimes!) - but it also has a double meaning - Ravens are known for their intelligence, creativity, fun loving and free spirited nature - and are bold as brass. Long thought to be bad omens - they are actually just bringing a message, and certainly for me, that message needed to be heard.
