Your name
has a story.
We look up what a name means, write it an original poem — woven with the themes you choose — and laser-engrave both into Cherry or Sapele wood, beside your favorite photograph. A keepsake. Not a frame.

Three steps. One heirloom.

We look it up & write it
We pull the name's verified meaning, then draft an original 8-line poem inspired by it and your themes — live, in front of you.
03
Bind it to a frame
When the meaning and poem feel right, we laser-engrave them into Cherry or Sapele wood, alongside a slot for a 4×6 photo.

The craft
Made by hand.
Burned, not printed.
Each frame is Cherry or Sapele wood, cut on a laser the size of a small piano. The text is burned through the surface, never inked — and the dimensional script is cut deep enough to catch the light from every angle. It will outlive the photograph it holds.

- 5″ × 7″ magnetic, 4×6 photo

The poem
Original verse.
Every time.
Two stanzas of four lines, written fresh from the name's meaning and the themes you choose. Never a template with a name swapped in.
Refine the verse live — soften a line, push a theme, change the ending. We redraft until it's right.
Every name unique
One name at a time. For two years.
If we haven't done your name yet, we will.
Not just a frame
More than a frame.
