Hi I'm Pia - a graphic artist, wife, mother, and self-proclaimed type addict! After decades in the design and advertising world, I faced a frustrating dilemma when I couldn't find affordable wall art that suited my style. That's when I had my "aha" moment and created Burnt Peach Design.

My daily inspiration and exhaustion comes from my boys. They sparked the creation of the Little Peach Portraits collection. What began as a few portraits transformed into thousands of unique pieces sold worldwide. As the business expanded from my kitchen table, my customers grew from friends to celebrities. Soon, the portraits were featured in magazines and on popular gift guides.

As time went on, I decided to revisit my typography obsession (which started back in university!), and expanded my wall art offerings.  Enter "My Type Of..." a massive collection of designs that includes bold statement prints, graphic tees, cozy sweatshirts, cards, and so soon to me much more. My friends and family always joke that if you say a good quote in my presence, there's a chance I'll jot it down and turn it into something!

Everything you'll find here is truly my type of thing. I hope they'll be your type of thing too.

CHARITY PARTNERSHIPS

For Pia, there’s no better sound than her two boys laughing and playing together. Knowing they’re creating memories to treasure for a lifetime fills her with immense joy and pride. But sadly, not all children are lucky enough to have the freedom to just be kids. For some, their childhoods are put on hold or even brought to an abrupt end due to illness or difficult circumstances. This deep awareness of life’s fragility is what drives Pia to help children in need through her work.

When she founded Burnt Peach, Pia knew she wanted to make a difference. Over the years, she has donated to several children’s charities, starting with The Honey Pot Children’s Charity, supporting young carers, and later partnering with Solving Kids' Cancer. As an ambassador for Solving Kids' Cancer, Pia continues to create bespoke prints for newly diagnosed children, offering hope and comfort to families facing the devastating diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Having experienced her own son’s serious illness, Pia’s connection to these families is deeply personal, and her work with the charity remains close to her heart.

In addition to her ongoing work with Solving Kids' Cancer, Burnt Peach also sponsors a room at Centrepoint, providing shelter and hope for vulnerable youths facing homelessness. With every purchase, you are helping to give a young person a safe place to stay and the opportunity for a brighter future.

Pia also donates from her charity Christmas jumper sales, making Christmas a time of giving back and ensuring that children and young people are supported during the holiday season.

Every order from Burnt Peach contributes to these causes, helping Pia continue to make a meaningful impact, one heartfelt creation at a time.
