Hi, I’m Ally, an American-born illustrator living in London, with a serious soft spot for maps, tea towels, and the tiny details that make a place feel like itself.

I draw illustrated maps of London and its boroughs, from the City to Islington to Hackney, and turn them into giclée prints and postcards. I also screen print limited-edition homeware at East London Printmakers: tea towels, pouches, and totes featuring pints, tea and biscuits, and a well-stocked pantry.

I’m happiest when I’m working out how to capture a sense of place on paper: the corner pub, the market stall, the building everyone walks past without noticing. Every map and print starts with that curiosity.
