Promote Place

Professional and accurate hand-drawn maps for place makers, landscape architects and urban designers.

Place Making Maps

I create custom hand-drawn maps for landscape architects, urban designers and place makers. A hand-drawn map can help to promote an idea to a client, community or stakeholder and highlight key elements of a project whilst setting the work in the wider landscape context. Map visuals can further be used across reports, consultations and project promotion to create a cohesive and clear message from the design team.

Professional Place Making Maps made with a designer’s eye and a landscape architect’s understanding of place.

Many designers can make a map look beautiful, I can also make maps that are accurate, professionally considered and true to how a place feels because I trained and worked in both Landscape Architecture and Graphic Design.

Hand-drawn maps are appealing, specific and characterful. Through their use in a project, detailed information and ideas can be communicated clearly and creatively, making complex ideas easy to understand.

Map visuals can further be used across reports, consultations and project promotion to create a cohesive and clear message about the project.

    This map was designed to inform participants of a walking route through the green spaces of a New York neighbourhood. The map needed to inform people of the route and encourage them to join in.

  • “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.”
