HEARTMAP PERSONALISED PRINTS







Mapping Connections, Celebrating Heritage
Design Notion's personalised Heartmaps
Welcome to Design Notions – Bespoke Heartmaps by Award-Winning Irish Artist Ann Kelly
Design Notions is an award-winning design studio nestled in the Blackstairs Mountains of Wexford. Here, we specialise in original, custom-designed Heartmap prints and cards—unique pieces of art that celebrate your most heartfelt connections and journeys.
Founded by Ann Kelly, a graduate of Limerick School of Art & Design with a 25-year career spanning London, Osaka, and now Ireland, our studio transforms your meaningful places into a visual legacy. Each bespoke Heartmap is more than a map; it’s an illustrated narrative, blending a vibrant, textural colour palette to tell your story of love, heritage, and adventure—whether across Irish counties or global destinations.
We believe in heirloom quality. Every personalised bespoke map is meticulously crafted on museum-grade heavyweight stock and elegantly presented on premium mat board. Available as unframed art prints or as beautifully framed finished pieces, we ensure your Heartmap remains a vibrant and detailed treasure for generations.
Heartmaps for special occasions
Custom Design
Bring your story to life by personalising every detail of your Heartmap. Choose from our curated selection of handmade colours and textures to set the perfect tone. Add distinct location markers to highlight the towns, counties, or global destinations that define your journey. Then, make it uniquely yours by adding names, a special date, a custom quote, or even integrating a club or company logo for a truly bespoke piece. With us, your vision is the only limit.
Each personalised map is then crafted as a timeless keepsake, presented either elegantly card-mounted or as a ready-to-hang framed piece. Whether commemorating a family heritage, a wedding, or a corporate milestone, a Heartmap is the ultimate meaningful gift and a legacy of connection.
