Bespoke Merchandise
I love the challenge of creating an illustration to be translated into a product - there's so much more to consider than a single illustration, from working out how to illustrate with a limited colour palette, knowing what details to include at a small scale and how will it be packaged / displayed.
Merchandise tells the story of the brand and can be used to create a buzz around an event, in addition to being created as products to be sold or for giveaway rewards. When designing and sourcing merchandise, I aim to be as sustainable as possible, seeking out eco and recyclable products that align with my business values.
Botanical Pin Badges
Pin badges created in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - Inverleith House and the Botanics Cottage for sale in the Botanics Shop, while the Palmhouse design was created to support the ongoing restoration work of the Biomes Project.
Bookshop Pin Badge
Creating this pin badge in collaboration with local Edinburgh bookshop, Golden Hare Books, was a really exciting challenge - with so many details in the design, yet we chose to keep to reduced colours.

“Working with Victoria was seamless from start to finish. She guided us on the initial merchandise planning and delivered a range of designs for us to choose from. We really liked that Victoria provided us with options. Ordering and manufacturing was handled completely by Victoria as well, which made our lives very easy and one less thing to worry about. Overall a great experience and a fantastic product at the end of it!” - Fraser, Edinburgh Futures Institute

Anatomical Museum
Pin badge designed created for the Anatomical Museum, featuring one of the infamous elephant skeletons that stand at the entrance to the doorway.
Branded Merchandise
My first product range launched in 2019 in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh Visitor Centre & Gift Shop, creating a map of their central campus for merchandise such as prints and mugs. Following the success of this, we expanded on the range to feature a collection of pin badges, keyrings and wooden magnets - all using illustrations picked out from the original map.
