Place Making Maps
Clarity, character and visual impact
Highlight important places, spaces and connections by communicating clearly to clients, stakeholders and communities
Project map drawn and designed to highlight key work across six sites in central London
Hand-drawn maps are appealing, specific and characterful. They soften the technical details and are drawn to purposefully highlight key elements of a project whilst setting the work in the wider landscape.

For professional place makers, such as Landscape Architects and Urban Designers a hand-drawn map can help to promote an idea to a client, community or stakeholder. The map can still have the necessary technical elements but by design is a freer, more emotional piece of work created to be easily understood by a wide audience.
With my background in both graphic design and landscape architecture, I understand the nuance and needs of such a custom site plan or map and will work closely with you to create a map fit for purpose and pleasing to look at.
Not only does the map or plan boost the project, but visuals from it can be use across reports, consultations and promotion to create a cohesive and clear message from the design team.

Custom maps and site plans can:
Enhance a project’s appeal
Make site plans easier to understand
Communicate directly to non-professionals
Build a story behind the design
Stand out from competitors
Impress both clients and stakeholders with a hand-drawn map that informs and delights.
