Rachel Ellen

Rachel Ellen Designs is an independent greeting card, stationery and gift company based in a Victorian mill building in Nottingham, England. The company was founded in 1997 when Rachel retired from a career as a professional ballet dancer and began painting cards at the kitchen table in her London apartment.

Interest in Rachel's unique products soon grew and she moved back to her hometown of Nottingham, where with the help of her parents and husband Justin (who was also a professional ballet dancer she met while performing at Phantom of the Opera) - the company flourished and just kept growing.
