About Me

I've never been able to stick to just one creative medium and I've long since stopped trying. Creative writing, visual arts, drama, photography, SFX makeup, poetry, gardening, dance, sewing… the list genuinely keeps growing.
Hi, I'm Phoebe, and creating things is just what I do.
But if I'm honest, books have always been at the centre of it. I'm a reader first — fantasy, romance, mystery, thrillers, middle grade, the occasional deep dive into something completely off-brand for me, because that's what mood readers do. The book community has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it means a lot to me. Pho's Creations grew from that, from wanting to create for this community, and to give something back to the people who love stories as much as I do.
Pho's Creations is a handmade bookish accessories business for readers who want their reading life to feel as beautiful as the worlds inside their books. Every piece of artwork is made by my hands (never AI-generated) because that's the whole point. The handmade part isn't a selling point, it's the reason this exists.
What I love most is creating things that are useful, beautiful, and bring a little joy to the people who receive them. When something I've made does all three, there's really no better feeling.
Pho's Creations was born from a decision to stop pushing art to the side. To stop telling myself there were more important things. Because nothing is more important than your quality of life, and for me, making things brings immense joy and meaning to mine. I hope a little of that finds its way to you too.
I'm so glad you're here.
— Phoebe
Built on Books & Belonging
I started Pho's Creations because books, reading, art, and this community are not things I do, they are part of who I am. Everything I make comes from that place: a genuine love of stories and a deep belief that the reading life is worth making beautiful.
Pho's Creations is a space built on community, creativity, kindness, and the radical idea that you deserve to feel at home in the things you love. The art is always mine. The welcome is always genuine. And the books are always at the centre of it.
How I Pack Your Order
Every order from Pho's Creations is packed by hand, by me, at my desk, usually with a book nearby. I've thought carefully about the materials that go into your parcel, from the tissue paper your goodies are wrapped in to the paper I use for the snail mail club inserts.
I'm not perfect, and I'm not going to pretend everything is flawless, but I do make considered choices wherever I can, and I'm always looking for ways to do better.
