About Us

Hi, I'm Sara!

I am a designer and small business owner from Portugal who loves reading, sewing, traveling and DIY projects!

I actually started my career as a web developer before switching to design full-time, and I created this small business to explore my creativity.

How it started

Sara Malva Designs started in 2018, as Malva de Neve, when I created my first personalized handmade planners such as the 2019 Weekly Planner and the 2019 Sewing Planner.

Since then I've expanded to other stationery items like notepads, bookmarks and washi tape as well as some home & gifts items.

Stencil Edges

In 2022 I tried DIYing my own special edition books by making stencils with my Silhouette machine. This quickly became a passion of mine and now I create stencils for other people to make their own special editions of their favorite books!
