About
From hometowns to heart places, through winding paths and cherished moments — I bring your story to life.
The places you’ve been, the journeys you’ve made, the moments that shaped you. Every map is a memory. Let me draw yours.
I’m Kat — an Art Director and Illustrator with over twenty years of experience. After years of creating work for the corporate world, collaborating with agencies and clients mainly in Paris, I found my true passion in something more personal: drawing for you.
Today, I create illustrated maps that celebrate connection, memory, and the places that matter most — Hand-drawn with love. For you, or someone special.
FAQ
How exactly does it work?
- Choose your map
Explore our Story Maps — from little beginnings to epic journeys — and select the size that best fits your story. Complete the checkout and make your payment to get started. - Share your story
After placing your order, you’ll receive a Questionnaire by email. It’s designed to help you tell your story—share photos, memories, and details from special memories that matter most to you, like your first home, trips, hobbies, milestones, pets, or kids. This ensures your map reflects your most memorable moments.
(Forward the link to the recipient, should this map be a gift) - Your map comes to life
Once your answers are in, I’ll create your personalised map. - See the first draft
About 1-2 weeks later, I will share a first draft, an opportunity for you to let me know if you’d like any edits or additions. - Finalisation & delivery
After any requested adjustments (usually 2–3 days), your map will be finalised. You’ll receive the high-resolution file ready to print.
Can I personalise my map?
Absolutely! Landmarks, pets, inside jokes, songs, favourite cafés — it’s your world, I just draw it.
Do you offer maps in different languages?
Yes! I create maps in English, German and French as standard. Got a request for another language?
Spanish? No hay problema!
Italiano? Dai, facciamolo!
Hindi? Koi baat nahi!
Just ask, and I’ll do my best to make it happen.
What’s the turnaround time?
Once your order is confirmed, it usually takes around 2 weeks. I’ll keep you posted from sketch to final map.
Will you show me a draft before it’s final?
Yes! I’ll share a sketch for your feedback before finishing the final version.
How much does a custom map cost and what’s included in the price?
It depends on the type and size of the map. It includes a custom hand-illustrated map, one round of edits, and a high-resolution digital file you can print or share. Printed versions are optional and available within India at an extra cost.
Do you include people in the maps?
I don’t draw portraits of people. The focus is on places on the places and little details that hold your memories — homes, cafés, trips, your home, museums, pets, cars, favourite restaurants, and those small inside jokes that make the story yours.
However, people can be included through photographic snapshots though, subtly integrated into the map.
Do you offer other maps than relationship maps?
Yes — I create many other types of maps, including travel maps, city maps, corporate or institutional maps, and more playful, story-driven pieces.
If you have a specific idea or project in mind, feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear about it and am excited to make your project mine.
Can I cancel my order or get a refund?
You can cancel your order and receive a 90% refund before submitting the questionnaire. Once the Google form has been submitted and work has started, refunds are generally not possible because each map is made especially for you. However, if circumstances change after work has begun, I’m happy to consider a partial refund on a case-by-case basis. You’ll also have the opportunity to request changes when you receive the first draft. If you have any questions or concerns at any stage, please feel free to reach out — I want you to truly love your map.
