Beyond Building Brands, I Love Building a Great Map
I like knowing where I’m going before I get there. I naturally pay attention to landmarks, shapes, signs, and geography, and my brain builds an internal map of wherever I am. Maps became my thing because, to me, they’re an organized puzzle, bringing roads, trails, buildings, landmarks, and information together in a way people can understand.
As a graphic designer, map design is a pretty perfect combination of the things I love.
Your Map Designer
What do you need mapped?
- Recreation & Outdoor Maps
Show off your trails, parks, and how to get there. - Town, Community, & Visitor Maps
Guide people through your streets, transit, landmarks, and service areas. - Event Maps
Special events, courses, and routes for the big day.
Every map is custom designed around your brand and the details that matter most.
So, How Does it Work ?
Maps can be designed for large outdoor signs, websites, brochures, flyers, visitor guides, digital materials, and more.
01: Find the Direction
I start by sending a few map design styles, from clean and minimal to detailed and illustrated. You pick the direction that feels right.
02: Gather the Pieces
Then we gather what you have: existing maps, trail information, routes, geographic information*, brand colors, and the details that matter most.
03: Build the Map
From there, I build your custom map in the style you chose, whether it’s new or a refresh. The level of detail depends on what the map needs to do.
Your Investment & Timeline
Pricing and timelines depend on the size, level of detail, and scope of the project. A new map is built from the ground up, while a refresh starts with what you already have.
*Quick note: my maps are visual representations for guidance only. I’m not a certified cartographer or GIS consultant, so I do not provide GIS analysis or surveying services.
Wherever People Need to Go
Maps can help people understand where they are, where they’re going, and what they’ll find along the way.
I’ve mapped everything from mountain town transit to a stretch of bike path between Pittsburgh and DC, showing visitors where they can stay and refuel. These are the kinds of details that can turn a map from a collection of information into something people can actually use.
And a great map can make all the difference.

digital content needs, especially design! She always has great ideas and takes my project to the next level. Thank you Danielle and CreativCat.
I also hear she has a really cool cat (haven’t met him yet).”
