About JP Designs
About Us: A Husband & Wife Studio in Chesterfield
JP Designs is a husband and wife studio based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Founded in 2025, our work began with a simple aim: to create framed wall art that feels calm, considered, and genuinely lasting, with a level of precision and finish you can live with for years.
We work from home, which allows us to keep the process personal and consistent. Every order is handled in our studio space, by us, from the first stage of design through to the final packaging.
Two Skill Sets, One Finished Piece
Our process is a true collaboration. Jason focuses on the digital sculpting, structure, and proportion that gives each design its clarity. Paula brings the artwork to life at the finishing bench, hand-applying the gold leaf or silver leaf that gives every piece its quiet glow.
From TikTok Live to a Full-Time Studio
JP Designs grew in public. Our earliest collections were shared live on TikTok, where viewers often spoke about the stories behind the artwork, especially pet remembrance pieces. Those conversations shaped the studio and clarified what mattered most: art that carries meaning without feeling loud, and workmanship that feels worthy of the moment.
Where Modern Precision Meets Traditional Gilding
Every piece begins with careful design work to refine the raised relief and ensure the final artwork feels balanced and clean.
Once the sculpted relief is ready, it moves to Paula’s workbench for the slow part of the process. Paula prepares the surface and hand-gilds each piece in metallic leaf. The finish is built patiently, then refined so it catches light across the raised detail. This is what gives the artwork its depth and presence.
A Calm, Gallery-Led Aesthetic
Our signature look—metallic leaf against a deep black background—is intentionally restrained. We believe wall art should sit confidently in a space, not compete for attention. The contrast is crisp and architectural, designed to feel at home in modern interiors while still carrying warmth.
Whether a piece is chosen to mark a birthday, a milestone, or a quiet tribute, the focus remains the same: balance, proportion, and finish.
Personal, From Start to Finish
Because we are a home-based studio, not a factory, every order passes through our hands. Personalisation is handwritten on the mount in a discreet, elegant style. We also offer bespoke pieces created from your own photographs, designed with the same calm, gallery format.
Materials & Delivery
We believe in quality that lasts. We use deep wooden box frames sourced from sustainable forestry to ensure our impact on the environment is as considered as our designs.
We offer Free UK Delivery using a Royal Mail Tracked 24 service, so you can follow your artwork's journey to your door.
