About Dinosaurs Doing Stuff

I’m Charlotte, the illustrator, designer and owner of Dinosaurs Doing Stuff. I draw, design, photograph, pack orders, and do (almost) all the other stuff. I can even pronounce Micropachycephalosaurus and spell it without Google! All Dinosaurs Doing Stuff’s products are designed in London. Care is given to select suppliers who use ethically responsible practices and use recycled or FSC-certified papers or materials. So...Why Dinosaurs? Why not Dinosaurs! I studied jewellery design in Melbourne and when I moved to London in 2013, I couldn’t bring all of my jewellery tools with me (baggage allowances, ugh!). So, I started making jewellery from up-cycled materials. I made a couple of dinosaur pieces and they always got the most comments and attention at markets so I used the dinosaur designs and made some coasters. A friend purchased some of the coasters and jokingly requested I train the dinosaurs to do martial arts, fetch slippers and be toilet trained. I made some mini books with the dinosaurs doing these things and sent them off. The drawings were a hit and I made them into postcards and gift tags then began drawing more dinosaurs and made alphabet posters. Eventually, the dinosaurs took over and I stopped making the original jewellery and focused on my illustrations. Fast forward to today, I now have a shop full of colourful dinosaurs on a wide range of products.Read their story
