Custom illustrated maps
Illustrated maps that capture the spirit of your place. Designed for hotels, retreats, venues, neighbourhoods and tourism projects, and made to guide visitors and show off your brand’s personality.
How does it work?
-
Once you’ve booked, I’ll send over a short design questionnaire. It’s where you tell me about your landmarks, favourite spots, the little details that make your place feel like yours, and anything you want highlighted. It means we’re on the same page before I start drawing.
-
Next comes your first draft. Take your time with it, then send me your thoughts on what to add, move or change. We’ll polish it together until it feels exactly like your place.
-
Your finished map arrives as a high-resolution file, ready to print and share. Put it on welcome guides, signage, your website or a postcard, and let your guests wander.
