47 Maps: A Studio Tally

August 19, 2025 admin

We passed 47 completed commissions this year since the studio’s first trail map in 2016 — a mix of parks, campuses, resorts, and one-off festival grounds. Most of it is unglamorous, careful work rather than showpiece illustration, which is exactly what a small wayfinding studio should expect.

We’re using the milestone to publish an updated version of our commission process notes for anyone considering hiring a studio like ours instead of a template map service.

We work directly with parks departments, campuses, shops, restaurants, and small brands — no agency middleman, one person assigned per project start to finish.
