The heart behind Auburn & Ink

Auburn & Ink began when I was looking for something I couldn't find. - a planner and journal that made space for faith, reflection, and intentional living, without pressure or performance. I wanted something that helped me slow down, listen to God, and plan my life in a way that felt gentle and guided. What started as something I created for myself slowly became something I felt called to share with others.

I’m Cathy — a mum, a wife, and a naturally creative person who enjoys organising information and creating things that help people feel calmer and less overwhelmed. Above all, I am deeply loved by God, and my faith shapes how I live, work and create.

Alongside this business, I also serve as a church administrator and church trustee, supporting communications and the practical life of my local Baptist church. I've spent many years working in a variety of different roles where planning, communication and attention to detail really matter.

I believe God is present not only in prayer, but in the practical rhythms of everyday life too - planning a week, thinking things through, creating space to reflect, and beginning again when things don't go to plan.

My hope is that Auburn & Ink offers you space to pause, reflect, and live intentionally with God in the midst of everyday life. And if there's ever something you're looking for that isn't quite here yet, I'm always happy to explore creating or adapting something, so feel free to get in touch!
