Illustration

I get asked a lot if I draw maps — and oh, do I ever.

Maps have become one of my favourite ways to work: part illustration, part storytelling, part quiet obsession with how places fit together. Whether it’s an airport wanting to inspire wanderlust, a magazine needing a neighbourhood guide, or a city looking to celebrate its landmarks, illustrated maps let me build little worlds full of character and clarity. I love finding the balance between geography and whimsy — drawing out the icons, rhythms, and small narrative details that make a place feel alive. Sometimes that means tracing flight paths across oceans, sometimes it’s capturing a single block of a city and filling it with hidden gems and local quirks. Every map becomes its own ecosystem: landmarks, topography, people, trees, waterways, colour, movement. Over the years I’ve created maps for airports, festivals, tourism campaigns, editorial features, and community projects — from global-scale illustrations to tightly focused neighbourhood scenes. No matter the scale, the goal is the same: make something functional, beautiful, and unmistakably my style. Below is a selection of map work from various campaigns and commissions.
