Illustrated Maps

In my years working as an architect, I was able to refine my perspective on my surroundings and developed a special passion for illustrated maps.

My illustrated maps are unique pieces used to tell a story and capture the essence of each place. Their aim is to facilitate location while also enchanting and visually engaging.

To craft an illustrated map, I typically use a digital cartographic base such as Google Earth and design the layout by arranging the spaces to highlight the information that my client wishes to showcase—without adhering too strictly to a technical scale.
