We chose Carmel for our wedding invitations as her designs were different and brought some fun and excitement through the invites. Nothing we asked Carmel to do was ever a bother. We and our families were absolutely blew away with the finished product – she took our ideas and put them together perfectly. Couldn’t recommend enough thank you Carmel!

I highly recommend Carmel Grant Designs caricatures. I’ve been a repeat customer of Carmel for years. I find the reason Carmel’s caricatures are so good is not just Carmel’s amazing artistic skills it’s more than that. Carmel listens to what the customer wants, her attention to detail is unreal, she will ask such specific questions to get the essence of the person or pet on the page. Getting it right is so important to Carmel. They are so individual, so unique, they are an amazing gift. I highly recommend Carmel Grant Designs.

Jean Collins, Guest Signing Board

From the moment I spoke to Carmel I knew it was going to be great. She really listened and gave me some great ideas. The caricature turned out so much better than I imagined, and the look of amusement on my Dads face said it all. I would highly recommend Carmel. She is very easy to do business with, and her customer service skills are excellent. I will certainly come back to Carmel in the future.

Veronica Darcy, Birthday Gift

I needed a gift for someone special. I gave Carmel a brief. She excelled and asked me questions I wouldn’t have thought of. As a result the gift was a huge hit!!
Bespoke & special. I’d highly recommend Carmel to create your special gift or memory.
