Buddug (full name Buddug Wyn Humphreys) is a designer-maker, originally from Snowdonia in North Wales UK, but now based in the capital city, Cardiff with her family.

Her work is deeply rooted in her Welsh upbringing—through literature, landscape, and culture—which continually inspires the stories she builds into her jewellery and objects.

Her work first becomes a drawing, illustration or a collage. She keeps lots of little booklets and sketchbooks, documenting thoughts and ideas -  a diary collecting words, quotes, magazine clippings, objects, images, anything that sparks her curiosity. 

All her drawings and imagery is combined with her love of handwriting. She is inspired by old fashioned pen and ink hand lettering, how lettering can act like a decoration as well as the power of the words themselves.

Her illustration work becomes prints and greeting cards and other times she draws using enamel, a technique involving melting glass to metal, then made into jewellery or objects for the home.

Buddug finds the act of gifting a very special part of life. Giving a special and unique gift, to show love and friendship.
