‘Turn your hobby into a business’
book for Country Living (UK)

Country Living is a lifestyle and home magazine published by the Hearst Corporation in America and the UK.

The monthly magazine focuses on food, home renovation, home decor, DIY and lifestyle. Whether you're in the town, city or countryside, one can experience the charm of ‘country living’ all season round.

Inside every issue there are irresistible seasonal recipes, delightful ideas for the home and garden, traditional craft ideas and much more!

Whilst working at Hearst in 2015, my role was to design alongside the art director, a special one-off ‘Country Living book’ (230 pages long) that is packed with tips on starting a small business, based on creative talent - from business plans, through to finances, networking and ensuring small business owners have a special work space in which to work, in even if it’s at home in the corner of their kitchen.

The book aims to help turn talents into turnover, with 38 amazing case histories to get inspired by.
