I am Denise McGee and I am based outside Ballivor, in Co. Having studied Graphic Design, I graduated and then continued with a specialised course in sign writing, here I mastered the old age technique of hand painted signs. This inspired me to set up my own sign business. I was happily working in this field for many years. Then with the arrival of my three children I wanted to create a business th
at could happen around the kitchen table and that worked with my family life. As I entered Motherhood, so too did all my friends - I started making personalised gifts that captured special moments in a childs life and that could be cherished forever. By word of mouth, orders started and so Roisin & Robin was born. Named after my youngest daughter Roisin & my lifelong love of nature. The Robin seemed a natural choice as it symbolises joy, hope, happiness & rejuvenation. Growing up in the countryside, I was free to play, explore and imagine. I was always making things, I loved the process and the sense of enjoyment when I was finished. It is now wonderful to revisit this and created unique wall art that brings a little bit of joy to someones day. The wooden boards are timeless keepsakes for life. The reaction from customers to these bespoke pieces is really rewarding and makes me smile.
