Meet The Owner

PX2-2024 — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 10:44:22 +0000

It’s time to learn a bit more about me! My name is Michele, and I own and run PX2. I’m 40 something, and as well as being a designer (which I AWLAYS wanted to do form being around 13), I have some other passions that I LOVE.

My 2 dogs mean the absolute world to me, Jack and Bella whippets spend all day “helping” me in the office. Mainly by sleeping.

My number 1 hobby is skiing, I feel so free when doing it. The scenery is amazing, but even at the dry slope in Norwich (yes we have a hill!) I’m in my happy place.

My other big love in life (other than my husband of course) is Motorsports. Formula 1 was my first love, I used to watch with my dad when I still lived at home, but I was introduced to F2 and now F4 by my work for local company Credo Capital Finance who sponsor a Norfolk based race team Virtuosi Racing.

I was lucky enough to be invited along to see them in action during the Silverstone Grand Prix weekend in 2019. It was simply amazing.

More to follow about how I became a designer, but sometimes it’s good to see the real person behind the branding.

Vintage Style Illustrations of Coltishall and Horstead

PX2-2024 — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 10:08:56 +0000

Inspired by my new surroundings, I have recently created an illustration of one of my favourite spots in the Coltishall, the green overlooking the river and the Rising Sun village pub. The style of the image was inspired by my love of Vintage travel posters and the fact that our garden looks onto the Bure Valley Railway Station, we can see and hear the steam trains as they pass through, so it’s the perfect era.

The success of my first design prompted me to create a Christmas card too, I chose another favourite scene and gave a festive feel to Coltishall High Street. Next I created an illustration of Horstead Mill, Horstead is just over the river from Coltishall, and they don’t like to be left out! The original Horstead illustration shows 2 canoeists, who were having fun the day I took the research photos. After showcasing the new design on the village Facebook pages, I was contacted by a “Crazy Lady” – not being rude, that’s the name of a group of ladies who enjoy wild swimming year round at the Mill and other Norfolk locations, and so I created the swimming version. Which escalated into a Christmas card (complete with woolly hats on the ladies), and an Etsy shop to sell them all though. That in turn lead to another special request to create a version with paddle boarders. Phew! What a busy few weeks.

All of the designs are available either direct from me, or via the Etsy shop

PX2 is back in business!

PX2-2024 — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 13:33:07 +0000

Welcome back, after a strange, turbulent and very worrying few months for everyone of us all over the world. PX2 is delighted to announce that we are back. Who could have predicted back in January that an as yet un-named virus would change the face of the whole world?

PX2 is a home run business, and as such we have no issues with social distancing, client meetings can be held over Zoom/Skype or even the phone, heck a carrier pigeon if need be, but the main thing is that we are back up and running.

We can offer a variety of materials for other businesses who are taking their tentative first steps too, be it roller banners with your company Covid Policy, PVC banners to tell the world you’re open, floor stickers to help customers keep their distance, infographics on best practice – whatever you need to make your customers feel safe – we can design for you.

Just drop us a line and we’d be happy to quote for your project.

A proud moment for PX2

PX2-2024 — Fri, 17 May 2019 10:20:29 +0000

Around a year ago we designed a logo, and leaflets for Credo Motorsport, who were sponsoring a car in the Mini Challenge for the season. This year they’ve also sponsored a Formula 2 car. I was sent this video today, a very proud moment for me, at the moment the car is zooming round the street circuit at Baku in Azerbaijan. How cool is that?? Being a huge motorsport fan I wish I was there to see it!

UPDATE: in July 2019 I was invited as a guest of Credo to watch the F2 race at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone with the Virtuosi Racing team. It was amazing! I got to see the logo I designed in person on the car. I even got to briefly meet their star driver, Zhou Guanyu, who went on to make his Forumla 1 debut the next season.
