Hand-drawn maps for places, events & organisations.
Bringing places, projects and stories to life.
I’m a map-maker with a background in Landscape Architecture and Graphic Design. I create distinctive maps that tell the story of a place or a moment, working closely with clients to capture what makes it unique.
Based in North Yorkshire. Working across the UK & internationally.
Bespoke Maps for all kinds of places and people
A hand drawn map will guide your visitors, help people discover a place, tell the story of a landscape, promote a destination or business, explain a development or proposal, bring a brand or event to life.
The right map can:
Guide | Uncover | Communicate | Promote | Explain | Attract
Sally B.
A map maker who understands place & communication.
A great map communicates more than streets, buildings and landmarks. It starts with understanding the character of an area; what makes it distinctive, how people move through it and how everything fits together.
My background combines both Graphic Design/Illustration and Landscape Architecture, giving me an unusual perspective on map making. It’s this combination of design and understanding of place that makes my maps different.
My maps can communicate:
key landmarks
wayfinding through a site
how places work
landscape and topography
movement and connections
buildings and the spaces between them
highlights of a public realm
placemaking strategies
I can look at a place not just as something to draw, but as something to understand, interpret and communicate.
The result is a map that is beautiful to look at, but also considered, useful and true to the character of the place.
Tell the story of your place with a bespoke map.

“Sally did an amazing job working with the team at W42ST to produce the KTCHLST illustrated map. The ability to take a brief that needed a detailed map of the area with a creative flair and turn out such a beautiful illustration is remarkable.”
