I have always felt that there’s something undeniably magical about vintage travel posters. ✨ They weren’t just advertisements for faraway destinations—they were invitations to dream, crafted with bold colors, elegant typography, and painterly landscapes that made every place look like the adventure of a lifetime. As long as I can remember, I have been captivated by the way these posters could transport you—no plane ticket required. From the golden era of PanAm’s designs to the rich, sun-drenched colors of European railway ads, they captured the spirit of exploration in a way that still feels fresh and inspiring today.
Bringing Wanderlust Into Everyday Life
That sense of escapism and nostalgia plays a big role in my own creative work. Whether it’s the color palettes, the effortless elegance of the compositions, or the way they evoke wanderlust, I have always wanted to channel that energy into design. If you, like me, find yourself drawn to the timeless beauty of vintage travel aesthetics, there are so many ways to incorporate that inspiration into your everyday life, and you don't have to spend a lot to feel that thrill of travel and escape.
- Surround yourself with wanderlust-worthy art – A beautifully illustrated design can transport you straight to the shores of Bora Bora or the streets of a beautiful city.
- Infuse your space with travel-inspired décor – Even a small detail, like a sticker on your laptop or a journal with a dreamy scene, can spark that getaway energy.
- Wear your love for adventure – Whether it’s a fun travel-inspired tee or an accessory with vintage flair, you can carry a piece of that aesthetic wherever you go?
Inspired by the Golden Age of Travel
I began my shop with designs I created inspired by the tropical locations of my travel dreams. The posters, journals, stickers and travel accessories I have been working to create are meant to inspire joy and to help you connect with that sense of escape and fun that travel evokes for me. Travel isn’t just about the places we go; it’s about the way we feel when we think of them.
