CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in illustrating maps began when I was living and traveling in Japan. Many of the places I visited; stores, towns, and cultural sites had illustrated maps. It was super helpful in getting around a country when you don't speak the language fluently. What I love most about making maps is how it ties together my love of nature, food, and exploration. To create a successful map illustration I think it's important to include specific activities, people, plants and animals to give a fuller sense of the place.
