Clare Edwards
The company was founded by Clare Edwards, an artist with 15 years experience of producing large scale mosaics and sculpture. As an experienced traveller and busy mum, she identified a gap in the market for a portable lap tray that would be suitable to carry when travelling. Existing trays were too cumbersome. Clare decided to design a unique lap tray bag that would provide storage for essential belongings that is streamlined and durable.
