Hi, I'm the founder of City Maps Illustrated, the studio behind the hand drawn Melbourne Map, Bellarine Map, Portarlington Map and a growing collection of illustrated regional maps. I work with a small team of artists to create highly detailed, story rich maps that celebrate the culture, character, and hidden gems of the places people love.
My background blends art, community engagement, and regional storytelling. Each map takes years of research, drawing, and collaboration — capturing neighbourhoods, landmarks, local businesses, and the personalities that make a place unique. Our maps have become treasured pieces for travellers, locals, tourism organisations, and corporate gifting partners across Australia and beyond.
Through City Maps Illustrated, I’ve expanded our illustrated maps into meaningful products including scarves, puzzles, prints, and limited edition artworks — all designed for people who love exploring cities in a more imaginative and tactile way.
I’m based on the Bellarine Peninsula and passionate about slow travel, creative entrepreneurship, and celebrating regional communities. Through Travel Massive my hope is that it’s a place to connect with fellow creators, tourism innovators, and people who believe in the power of storytelling to bring destinations to life.
