"Loveday did a fantastic job refreshing the Cornwall Scrapstore logo. She managed to sharpen the design while still keeping the character and spirit of the organisation. The process was smooth and collaborative, and we’re really pleased with the result."

"Loveday is dependable, quick to learn and exceptionally calm under pressure. She works well in a team, communicates clearly and brings a focused, organised approach to every task. I’m confident she will be an asset to any future project or employer."

"Loveday first joined us on an exhibit build for Trebah Gardens in 2025. Helping to create an interactive, feature packed topographical map as part of a larger exhibition about the gardens history.

Both working to our designs and being actively involved in the design process, she produced excellent CAD drawings for CNC machining processes and continued with us throughout the build and installation on site, including hands on wood, metal and low voltage electric work to name a few.

Since wrapping this project, we’ve continued to work with and mentor Loveday on various commissions and hope to continue doing so in future. We look forward to seeing what wonderful pieces she creates next."
