Walls tell better stories when they're personal
How it started
In the summer of 2025, we became parents for the first time. It was the most beautiful, overwhelming experience of our lives. Shortly after, our world was turned upside down when my fiancee was diagnosed with cancer. What followed was months of treatment, sleepless nights, and holding onto each other and our tiny newborn.
She beat it.
Somewhere between hospital rooms and sleepless nights, we realized how fast it all moves. She was already growing. Already changing. We wanted to freeze that very first moment. The weight, the time, the name we'd chosen. Something on the wall to remind us where it all started.
The gap
But when we looked for a birth poster, nothing felt right. Every product we found was rigid. You couldn't change the colors to match your room, you couldn't make it feel like yours. So we decided to build it ourselves.
The craft
We combine hand-drawn art, mathematical precision, and high-resolution imagery to create each poster type. Some designs are carefully drawn by hand, others are built from real astronomical data and vectors, and some blend photography with digital artistry. What ties it all together is the attention to detail, and the ability for you to make every piece truly yours. Designed by hand, refined with technology.
Where we are now
Born in Iceland, now shipping free across the United States. What started as something we made for our own wall is now in homes across the country.
posterbuild exists because we believe the walls of your home should tell your story, not someone else's.
