Custom Illustrated Map of Miami Florida for Hyatt Hotels

I was commissioned by Hyatt hotel in Miami to create a custom map highlighting all the famous sites, restaurants and attractions in Miami near the hotel. I used extensive research to hand illustrate each location and create a level of accuracty for guests to be able to use the map as well as have the map remain visually enticing. I also created a listing of all the sites on the map to visually match the illustration style.

Published Illustrated Map in New Mexico Travel Guide

I loved working with Graphic Arts Books to create an illustrated map for their new book, 50 Things to See and Do in Northern New Mexico’s Enchanted Circle. Having traveled to this part of New Mexico and visited some of the actual sites on the map, I enjoyed capturing the raw beauty of the area and bringing them to life with my colorful illustrations.

I also was lucky to work with wonderful inspirational pictures from the authors to make sure to capture the locations accurately as they discuss them in the book.

It was quite a joy to see three of my favorite things come together - art, travel and books - when I received the final published book in person!
