Hand-drawn maps for places, events & organisations

I create eye-catching maps for landscape architects, urban designers, businesses, brands and private individuals.

Maps tell the story of a place or event and bring destinations to life. I have a background in both Graphic Design and Landscape Architecture, giving me a combined skillset perfectly suited to creative map-making.

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

  • way finding 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.

“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.”
