Yorkshire Business On The Spot: Michelle Hughes on time in nature and a morning cuppa

Every week, The Yorkshire Post asks a notable local business person about their background interest and hobbies. This week, it's the turn of Michelle Hughes, founder of Michelle Hughes Design.

What’s your ideal day away from the office? When I'm away from my studio, I love spending the day walking with my camera. Time in nature helps me unwind and put things into perspective. I‘m always on the lookout for new print ideas, too.

What are your hobbies? I enjoy anything which involves making things and using my hands, from gardening and baking to upcycling furniture, DIY, sewing, and trying new crafts. I enjoy being outdoors too, walking or cycling.

What’s your favourite time of day? I’m a morning person. There’s nothing better than a morning cuppa listening to the birds in the warmth of the first sunshine. There’s something magical about the quality of light.

What’s the best thing about Yorkshire? It has to be the Yorkshire countryside and nature which inspires all my linocut prints.
