Meet The Founder

Hey, I’m Zoe! I founded Motive Stationery in 2020 during my final year of my Undergraduate degree at Cardiff University. I graduated with a 2:1 in Biomedical Sciences (BSc) in 2021.

I’m passionate about all things education, and blogged my journey from A-Levels, through University over on Instagram!

Created by a University graduate, for you.

My mission with Motive is personal. After the huge jump to A-Levels, I struggled with the adjustment and failed my exams. I was determined, and retook the year. Along the way I started to create a range of printable resources to help me manage the workload, plan essays, and revise more efficiently. I used these throughout my A-Levels, eventually passed (wooo) and gained a space at my dream University, Cardiff.

Lockdown hit and studies turned remote. After sharing my printable resources with some of my peers on my course, I took the plunge and launched Motive Stationery.

After a successful launch, I reflected on my journey post-graduation and continue to work on creating a range of resources that would have made my studies a little more straightforward.

Our Aim

Did you know that 80% of students in Higher Education feel overwhelmed?

My aim is to create resources to support students through their studies, maximising productivity and contributing to reducing that sense of overwhelm students so often experience. By creating high-quality resources, we aim to guide students through various stages of their education, and enable them to achieve their very best.
