Paper Palms began with a single gift.
I wanted to recreate my family’s childhood beach in Guernsey and surprise my mother with something that felt like home - the colours, the sea, the memory of all of us together.
That illustration sparked something.
It went on to feature on a magazine cover, and soon friends and family began asking for their own favourite places - the houses where they grew up, the cliffs they first fell in love on, the places that stayed with them long after they returned home.
What started as a personal memory turned into Paper Palms: a collection of illustrated and captured nostalgia, capturing meaningful places for people around the world.
Today I create work for travellers, families, brands and boutique hotels - all rooted in the same idea: turning places into memories you can hold.
