I'm here because...

 I want something meaningful for myself or someone I care about.

A gift, a family story, a memory of someone who’s gone, a story behind a car or a home

I want my clients to feel something when they walk in.

You want your space to tell the story of your brand, not just show your logo.

I’m just checking this out.

I’m exploring the idea and want to see examples and how this works.

The Philosophy

Memories don’t disappear because they’re unimportant. They disappear because they’re hard to tell. Story on the Wall turns those stories into something you can point at, talk about, and share – a physical piece on your wall, connected to a digital story that lives online.

The Three Pillars
  • Physical piece

    • A high-quality framed print designed for your space, telling the core of your story at a glance.

  • Digital story

    • A simple, beautiful web page linked to your piece (QR code or NFC), where the full story lives – photos, text, even video.
       

  • Built to be told

    • Every Story on the Wall is designed so it’s easy to explain in 30 seconds… and deep enough to talk about for an hour.

Hang

692 wanted something more than another poster on the wall. We created a Story on the Wall that ties together their origin, their regulars, and the small details that make the space feel like home.

Just like the project with 692, there are just 4 simple steps to have your Story on the Wall project finished.

We'll sit and talk, that's it! Whatever your story may be, we can have a chat in the comfort of your home. It doesn't even feel like an interview!

Dig

Time for me to gather any of the content that I may need. Pictures, videos, drone footage, anything at all.

Create

I create your physical Story on the Wall and your digital story page, and we refine it together until it feels exactly right.

Done

The piece arrives ready to hang. Scan or tap to open the digital story. From there, you do what you’ve always done best: tell the story.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Story on the Wall in Ottawa, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. We worked closely with the owner, Taylor McGowan, who guided us thoughtfully through every step of the process. Taylor’s creativity, professionalism, and genuine passion for storytelling shine through in everything he does.

The final piece he created for our coffee shop is absolutely beautiful — it captures our identity perfectly and has already become a meaningful part of our space. The way Taylor translated our story into visual art exceeded every expectation.
We would highly recommend Story on the Wall to any individual or business looking for a unique, personalized, and deeply engaging way to bring their story to life. Truly exceptional work and an equally exceptional person behind it.
