Hi, I’m Greg, a freelance map illustrator with years of experience helping destinations communicate more clearly and creatively through maps.
I work with tourism boards, cultural organizations, and travel professionals to create custom illustrated maps that both guide and inspire visitors.
Each project is a collaboration. I take the time to understand the identity of your destination, its key landmarks, and what travelers need to navigate and enjoy it. Whether you need a detailed map for your visitor guide, a themed trail map, or a custom piece for a brochure, event, or regional campaign, I’ll design a map that’s visually engaging, functional, and tailored to your audience.
Let’s Work Together!
If you have a project in mind or just want to start the conversation, feel free to email me directly. I’d love to hear about your destination and how I can help bring it to life on the map.
WHO I WORK WITH
I collaborate with clients across the travel and tourism industry—from cities and regional destinations to hospitality brands, travel agencies, tour operators, and cultural institutions. My maps have been used in visitor guides, travel brochures, wayfinding materials, welcome packs, websites, and destination marketing campaigns. I’ve collaborated with clients across the U.S., Europe, and beyond.
I also create illustrated maps, practical maps and spot illustrations for books and magazines under the name Le Cartographiste, you can see a selection of these projects here.
HOW MY MAPS ARE USED
Illustrated maps can bring real value to a destination’s visitor experience. Some of the most common uses include:
– Visitor guides and city brochures
– Regional tourism campaigns and promotional print
– Welcome maps for hotels, resorts, and events
– Themed trail maps (e.g. art walks, brewery trails, food tours)
– Travel itineraries for multi-stop or multi-day experiences
– Site plans for campgrounds, parks, or attractions
– Maps for websites and digital tourism tools
Whatever the format, these maps are crafted to reflect a place’s unique character and to inspire people to explore it.
GETTING STARTED
Interested in working together? The process usually begins with a short brief: the purpose of the map, how it will be used, and who it’s for.
From there, we’ll define the scope and elements to illustrate and I’ll take care of the rest, from early concepts to final delivery, with regular check-ins and opportunities for feedback along the way.
I deliver fully vector-based digital files, ready for print or screen use. Timelines vary by project, but I always provide a clear estimate before we begin.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I was so impressed about how easy Greg made everything on a multiple map project I hired him to do for our client. He needed absolutely no hand holding creating maps of several specific locations for us[…]
He was very responsive, even in opposite time zones, and it’s clear that he is very conscientious about his work, which is top shelf. The maps turned out beautifully, our client is very pleased, and we will use him for other projects moving forward.
Deanne O’Connor – Creative Director, O’Connor Creative, Wanderlust Content Studio
Greg was great to work with. He helped us turn our idea of a map into reality, and we’re very happy with the final product. Communication was clear and precise at all steps, and the project was completed quickly and within budget. Highly recommend.

After many successful collaborations with Greg, he continues to impress. His attention to detail, quick turnaround times, and invested understanding of our needs make him invaluable. He consistently delivers exceptional maps while being a pleasure to work with. Greg remains our trusted go-to cartographer for good reason!

Greg completed a highly-specialised map design job for me. From the very first communication I was deeply impressed by Greg’s responsiveness and readiness to tailor his work to my exact needs. Technically, I found his work to be excellent: detailed, visually striking and exactly what I was looking for. Communication was excellent throughout […]
The completed job exceeded my expectations by a significant margin: Greg is a first-rate freelancer and I would recommend him most highly for any mapmaking projects you might have.
