Hi, I'm Tim, and my journey into the world of maps and geography started with a fascination for Australia's rich landscapes.

Every place holds a tapestry of stories and experiences, which ignited my passion for blending memories and emotions with geography. The idea for Origin Maps sprouted when I crafted a custom wooden map as a gift for my parents' anniversary. Witnessing how emotionally moved they were by the artwork, I knew I had stumbled upon something special.

As I continued honing my craft and refining techniques, the overwhelming response from friends and family encouraged me to share these extraordinary creations with a wider audience. Today, Origin Maps takes pride in producing all maps and frames in-house and has crafted over 500 maps for clients across Australia, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the EU.

Our stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces have become a favourite for those who seek the perfect gift for their significant others on special occasions like their husbands' 60th birthdays or the 5-year wedding anniversary.

When you choose Origin Maps, you can rest assured that I personally oversee the creation of each map, ensuring it captures the essence of cherished memories and becomes a heartfelt symbol of your love and appreciation.
