Meet some of the team

Belinda

Belinda started Acorn Studio Press with one simple idea: that children’s thinking should be visible, celebrated, and nurtured. She’s the one connecting the dots — from designing new programmes, to talking with schools, to dreaming up the big ideas that keep us moving.

Fun fact: Belinda is never seen without a notebook, because you never know when the next spark will appear. She comes as a pair with a small, noisy dog.

Kim

Kim is our production lead. She takes the ideas and turns them into real, beautiful packs and books that look good and work in practice. Every worksheet, every page that lands in your hands has passed through Kim’s care. She also looks after customer care making sure you get the answers you need.

Fun fact: Kim has a knack for spotting typos at ten paces — a superpower that keeps us all sharp, as well as a knack for ensuring everyone who contacts us, leaves us happy with their questions answered and knowing that their feedback makes us better.

Lara is our Pathways lead, bringing a unique energy and empathy to our school workshops and Pathways projects. She’s also our voice to the outside world — sharing our mission through marketing. She's easy to spot - just look for the back of her bright yellow wheelchair as she races off to speak to the next person.

Fun fact: Give Lara a box of paints and some good music, and she’ll lose hours happily creating. When she runs out of canvas, she moves onto the walls. Never let her run out of canvas!

Craig

Craig is our shipping, stock and operations guru. He makes sure everything we create actually gets to where it needs to go. From ordering just enough each month, to packing boxes to managing stock, he’s the quiet hero who keeps the wheels turning and the deliveries landing on time.

Fun facts: Craig can pack a van like Tetris — neat, balanced, and somehow with space to spare. He inspired our very first Acorn Story ever. Don't ever leave him near a button that says "don't touch". He HAS to know what it will do.
