Teacher designed + studio finished

The story behind The ECT Edit.

I started as an Early Career Teacher desperate for displays that felt as inspiring as the literature I was teaching. The ECT Edit grew out of those late nights designing posters, vocabulary cards, and trackers that looked premium enough for a flagship classroom.

  • Resources shaped by real lessons, not stock templates.
  • Editorial typography + classroom practicality.
  • Iterated with English leads across the UK.

Why we obsess over design

Students are more likely to reference quotes and vocabulary when the materials feel intentional. That is why every resource is mood-boarded, prototyped on real walls, and refined with teachers before it reaches the shop.

We merge inspiration from magazines, gallery signage, and educational research so English classrooms can look as curated as they sound.

Teacher-first process

Ideas are sketched after lessons, refined with colleagues, then translated into editable files you can tweak instantly.

Design-led polish

Colour palettes are sampled from novels, typography references literary journals, and icon sets stay consistent across packs.

Impact tracked

We gather feedback from English departments to update bundles termly so displays always feel current.

What you can expect

Our north star is simple: make English classrooms feel boutique without the boutique workload.

Curated aesthetics

Each collection has a defined palette, typography pairing, and spacing system so everything feels cohesive.

Curriculum alignment

Resources align with GCSE Literature & Language objectives and include prompts for modelling responses.

Voice of an ECT

Copy is written by someone who has stood in front of Year 7 and Year 11, so tone feels human.

Seasonal refreshes

We update bundles each term with new colourways, prompts, and discussion cues.
