About The Ancient Advisor

Modern design. Ancient wisdom.

Modern design, ancient wisdom – wise words to live life by.

The Ancient Advisor was born from a quiet craving for inspiration, motivation, spiritual and philosophical guidance in these turbulent times. 

What started as a personal collection of religious, philosophical, and historical quotes pinned to my home office wall became this project: high-quality prints designed to speak softly but stay with you. Whether it's Seneca, Epictetus, or the Holy Bible, these words have lasted centuries for a reason.

These prints aren’t merely meant to decorate. They’re meant to resonate.

What makes these prints different?

Minimal, intentional design

Clean typography and layout that doesn’t distract from the wise words of wisdom.

Premium materials

FSC-certified matte stock. Archival quality. No shortcuts.

Light & dark variants

Designed to suit your space and your state of mind.

Who’s behind this?

Just one person, really. I’m a father, reader, writer, designer, and overthinker living in New Zealand.

I started this store not because I had it all figured out – but because I didn’t. I kept coming back to these quotes when I needed a moral, spiritual, and inspirational compass. So I printed them, and now I’m sharing them with the whole wide world.

If one ends up sitting on your wall and helping in some small way, I’ll consider that a win.
