Welcome to Paper Heart Design

Hi, I’m Nicky, a Christchurch-based Graphic Designer and the founder of Paper Heart Design.

This journey began when I was pregnant with my first son and searching for the perfect baby milestone book. I struggled to find something I truly loved - nothing quite matched my style, and finding a beautifully designed, locally made option was nearly impossible.

So, I created my own - ‘Hey Baby’ - a baby milestone book that’s stylish, functional, easy to fill out, and designed to be cherished forever.

Now, more than six years later, I’m proud to offer a full range of keepsake books and prints for Kiwi families, thoughtfully designed to celebrate life’s most precious moments. Every book is designed by me and printed right here in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I hope you love them as much as I do.

  • GORGEOUS

    "This (Personalised Baby Milestone Book) is absolutely gorgeous. I absolutely love the personalised touch and the paper is so smooth. It's simple and cute, and perfect for both genders. Would make the perfect baby shower gift."

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE

    "Love love love. I'd been looking for really nicely displayed, quality books for my girls and I finally found them here. Made sure I brought two so my 3yo would have one for school too. Enough space for photos and info. Thanks again."

  • BEAUTIFUL PRINT

    "I love our single branch family tree, which Nicky was able to customise to include my daughter's half siblings. It's not often that solo parent options are available so I really appreciate the option to gloriously represent our little whanau on such a beautiful print."
