Our Story

How 'Where We Met' Began

Where We Met Studio began with a simple idea - to hold onto a place that mattered.

Like many stories, it began with a moment that didn’t feel important at the time. A first meeting. A familiar street. Somewhere ordinary that later became unforgettable.

We wanted a way to remember that place — not as a photograph, but as something quieter. Something that let the place speak for itself.

A Small Studio in Galway, Ireland

Today, Where We Met Studio is a small, independent design studio based in Galway,  Ireland

Our work is intentionally focused. We create Where We Met Maps — and nothing else.  All maps are designed with intention and made to order in our studio.

Each piece begins with a single set of coordinates: the exact place where a story started. We turn that moment into a quiet, considered artwork, guided by minimalist cartographic principles and made with care in our studio. 

The result is a thoughtful, personal artwork made to last — a physical reminder of a meaningful place.

Why Maps, Not Words?

Some moments are hard to describe. A map doesn’t explain — it simply shows.

A street layout. A set of coordinates. A single point in space. Together, they hold more meaning than a paragraph ever could.

Each map captures the exact location, names, and date where a story began — stripped back to its essentials and designed to feel timeless.

Made carefully, on purpose.
