The spark behind our pages
Our Story
Hello and welcome to Always Inspired.
I’m Kirsty Stanbrook, a qualified teacher, artist and lifelong lover of books, writing under the names Amora Designs and Amora Starr.
Always Inspired was created from a simple belief that books have the power to shape how we think, learn and imagine.
As a proud mum, grandmother and great grandmother, I’ve had the privilege of watching children grow into creative, compassionate individuals. Through years of reading together, I’ve seen firsthand how books can spark curiosity, build confidence and support learning at every stage of life.
Bringing together my background in education and creativity, each book is thoughtfully designed to encourage imagination, support development and create meaningful everyday moments whether through storytelling, hands-on activities or quiet time to explore new ideas.
My hope is that Always Inspired helps foster a lifelong love of reading, learning and discovery.
