Growing up in Brighton, Tim was immersed in music, art, and culture, igniting a lifelong love of creativity. After studying Graphic Design at Kingston University London, he worked in design studios and agencies in London and Amsterdam, honing his craft in visual communication.
The passing of his mother, just before the pandemic, changed everything. He found solace in Posca pens and paper, turning drawing into a daily practice of mindfulness. It was then that Tim realised he wanted to create work with deeper meaning. At Sanders de Roeper, he makes bold, unapologetic design, infused with playfulness; a defining signature of the brand.
Hatty, born and raised in the Lake District, is a designer whose work is guided by instinct, honesty, and an innate need for creative expression. She trained at Newcastle College, Kingston University London, and the Royal College of Art, gaining experience at Alexander McQueen before designing for Topshop Unique, Tommy Hilfiger, and Stella McCartney Kids.
Drawing inspiration from her experiences, anxieties, comforts, obsessions, and special interests, Hatty creates work that brings joy, humour, and connection to everyday life.
Becoming parents has been the biggest inspiration behind our brand. We feel it’s essential to nurture our kids to celebrate who they are, be expressive, and live their own unique lives with conviction. We aim to encourage resilience, helping them navigate tough times with greater ease. Ultimately, we want this for everyone, becoming part of a broader movement where self-love is championed as it should be.
