Crafty Designs: Where Late-Blooming Passion Meets Crafted Elegance Outside of Weston-super-Mare, nestled in the charming village of Locking, you'll find Crafty Designs—a creative endeavour that blossomed from perseverance, personal transformation, and unwavering passion. Founded and run by Tracey Coupland, this local business is more than just a service; it's a testament to resilience and creativity.

A Journey That Blossomed After Adversity

Tracey’s foray into design began after an unexpected life shift. Upon her early retirement due to ill health, she reignited her creativity and returned to college at the age of 60, earning a Level 2 in Graphic Design with distinction. This late blooming set the stage for something truly remarkable.

From Business Cards to Branding Brilliance

What began as designing business cards for small local enterprises quickly grew—and so did Tracey’s ambitions. Her work expanded into broader branding services: logos, company branding, and visual identity that help businesses stand out, both online and in print.

Crafting T-Shirts with Art (and Attitude)

The T‑shirt wing of Crafty Designs was born from Tracey’s personal frustration—a lack of style for women in biker gear. Driven to fill that gap, she launched her own brand, “Byker Byrd”, originally offering biker-themed T‑shirts with a strong female focus. The range quickly evolved into:

  • Inspirational designs
  • A timely political range, capturing the mood of an unpredictable world.

Bespoke Embroidered Apparel: Every Piece, Truly Unique

Always striving to stay ahead, Tracey is expanding again—this time into bespoke embroidered apparel. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, never replicated, ensuring customers receive something truly special.

Craft Meets Compassion: Quality, Packaging, and Kindness

Feedback from customers underscores Tracey’s attentive approach:

  • “Well packaged and fast delivery… highly recommended 5*+++”
  • “Quick delivery and great price. Thank you!”

These remarks reflect not only the quality of her work but also her caring approach to customer service.

Local Roots, Local Identity
