🎨 Can you help me find design inspiration?Updated 4 months ago
Yes — we’re here to help you find inspiration and shape a design that truly reflects your world, your taste, and your story. Whether you're commissioning an ex-libris, family crest, or stamp, you don't need to arrive with a fully formed idea — part of our work is to guide you.
Here’s how we can help:
1. Browse Our Past Creations
The best place to start is with our own portfolio. Take a look at our:
Look out for designs that speak to you — whether it’s a certain symbol, layout, or mood. Feel free to take a screenshot and send it along with your order to reference what you like.
2. Tell Us About Yourself (or the Person Receiving the Gift)
Often, inspiration comes from your personal world. Consider:
Your passions: reading, travel, nature, music, philosophy, art...
Symbols from your heritage or cultural background
Favorite objects, places, or plants
A meaningful phrase, date, or memory
A mood: whimsical, elegant, mysterious, romantic, timeless, etc.
3. Let Us Curate Options for You
Still not sure? Just send us a short message with:
The name or initials you’d like included
Who the piece is for
A few lines about your story or the feeling you want to convey
We’ll then respond with some tailored visual suggestions and examples from our past work to help spark ideas. Think of it as a creative conversation — we're here to co-create something meaningful with you.
4. Keep It Open-Ended
You don’t need to have everything figured out. Many clients simply say:
“I want something poetic and timeless, perhaps with a floral element.”
or
“It’s for my mother — she loves Italy, gardens, and the sea.”
From that alone, we can develop a concept and offer sketches for you to react to. Trust the process — inspiration often arrives once the first lines are drawn.
✨ Let the Process Inspire You
You’re not expected to be a designer — that’s our role. Our goal is to translate your words, memories, and impressions into a timeless image that feels like you.
