Hi, I'm Sophie!

You've found your way to Thunder Lizard - my little corner of creativity where I spend my days making items that I hope will make you smile.

My creative journey began when my children were young. As a busy mum, I started face painting in my spare time and discovered how much I loved bringing joy through art. Later, I took a different path, first volunteering as a Teaching Assistant before becoming a fully qualified SEN TA - another role that showed me the power of making people smile.

What began as a hobby, selling a few handmade items on Etsy and eBay, has grown into something wonderful. Now I spend my days in my workshop (actually, it's a lovely log cabin in my garden!) creating all sorts of personalised goodies - from custom t-shirts to plush toys, and everything in between.

I'll be honest - I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Every single item that leaves my workshop has to be good enough for me to give to my own family. Sometimes I'll remake something three or four times until I'm completely happy with it. But that's just who I am, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Since 2021, Thunder Lizard has grown from a small Etsy shop to a thriving business with more than 3600 satisfied customers and 720+ glowing reviews. While you can still find me on Etsy, shopping directly with Thunder Lizard means better prices, exclusive designs, and that personal touch that only comes from buying straight from the maker.

Every Thunder Lizard creation starts with an idea and becomes reality through careful crafting, precise attention to detail, and a dash of magic. Browse our newest additions below!

Everything you see here is designed and made by me. If you would like something bespoke, I'd love to hear your ideas - just reach out via the contact form!
