What's The Meaning of LiKE?!
Daydreaming, on a kitchen stool on another sunny California day, my 3 year old was playing away in the sun, my thoughts had drifted to home, to Ireland, I was thinking of home and how much it meant to me. There was a lot going on in the news at the time that bothered me and I was thinking about ways to express how I feel about home. It was in that moment I dreamt up the logo for LiKE. I quickly realised how unique this little idea was so I checked to see if the domain was free, and it was! I bought the domain lk.ie that day.
The LiKE logo is made up of two abbreviations, LK for Limerick, and iE for Ireland (online). I love to come up with all sorts anagrams, and crafty ways of expressing things. So when it dawned on me that I could arrange the word 'LiKE' using LK for Limerick and iE for Ireland it was a huge 'a-ha' moment for me! I literally felt I could do so much with it, all based on how much I love/like my hometown, Limerick, and Ireland.

Launching this unique Irish brand has been a great personal feat and I've loved it every step of the way, the work I create is thoughtful and worthwhile and I feel that I present it in a fresh, modern and Irish way, with the best quality materials I can source.
Handprinting my designs on my products here in Ireland, and as sustainably as possible, is really enjoyable. The intricacies and possibilities of it all keeps me curious and keeps me going.
I've always had an urge to work with my hands and to let my creative spirit flow but I have generally worked in office based admin roles for most of my adult life. Thankfully, all the admin has been useful because starting your own business isn't just about a good idea. It has taken a lot of planning to get this far. So with my crafty soul and business sense I have managed to bring this idea close to my heart, to life. I hope you LiKE it!!
