Freelance Cartographer at www.eventmaps.co.uk and trustee/council for The BCS @bcsmaps.bsky.social
So pleased to see this IRL and already out there supporting cyclists across Colchester! It was great to team up with Colchester City Council to develop the map, as well as bespoke school editions.
Thanks to Rachael Partis and Dennis Maps LTD for their services pulling it all together.

Event Maps Latest: a trail map for a nature area to enhance the wayfinding experience and encourage visitors to explore the recent improvements.

Great data from the client allowed me to style up the various land coverage to invoke a more natural feel to the map and create some bespoke iconography.

I’ve often been the solo cartographer on projects and have wished I could duplicate myself to get thru the tasks in front of me… but I managed so far without a clone, so I guess I’m OK!

However I now have this blue print for when the technology allows - she might need a larger screen though 🖥️ 🤣

A lovely little output as I work on my next project… #hypsometricmap #design #cartography #colour #terrain #river

I’ve added my own label on my Google maps for that so it comes up as “Gulf of Mexico (not America)” when clicked 🤣

Just rewatched Matilda the Musical and spotted the map!
See left inside the Mobile Library when Matilda rushes out. It was acquired on pinboards from a reuse site - from the Studios!!
Amazing to think of all the art created for film and TV that may only get 0.1s on screen

A few exciting updates…

🪪 My new business cards have arrived ❤️

🗺️ I’m working with a great team in Canada and love seeing my maps at workshops!

🧶 We got the Guinness world record for our Postbox Toppers (I made the map too!) which made over £30k for charity.

Not a bad start to the year 🥰

2024 threw me a bit of a curveball career-wise.

I’m pleased to have found amazing support to go freelance, meet new people and with self-belief and determination I’m now looking forward to 2025 as @eventmapsclare

So, Happy New Year, and remember that whatever happens, keep positive!

Very proud to help launch the St Albans Postbox 📮 toppers initiative alongside St Albans MP Daisy Cooper.

My maps were made to help promote the event with the aim of increasing donations to the two chosen charities this year.

Do please donate if you can lnkd.in/e8RF-npu

Double whammy this year, as I have my regular crochet topper of Stick Man that I made in 2021, but I also have my very own MAPS ready for the #stalbanspostboxes launch this week!

Hope you enjoy them!

All the maps can be found here from Thursday 28/11 lnkd.in/e5AkAMMC

Donations = lnkd.in/esa7aV5F

I just joined bsky so this is perfect!!
Testing it out to potentially move British Cartographic Society over too… are the other societies here? Nacis, ICA, etc?
Please add me as I’m starting as a freelance this month too so will be great to make more connections here. Thank you!
