5 out of 5 starsIf you are going back and forth about ordering a custom map, DO IT. I’m serious. Ordered a custom map for our first wedding anniversary and it is even more stunning in person!!! Her work is one of a kind. And this is a piece we will have forever. Would highly recommend to anyone. All the reviews really are accurate. And she shipped much faster than expected which was a plus of course!

5 out of 5 starsThe precision is amazing! It looks absolutely gorgeous. It came way earlier than I thought. I had completed another order later on and she did both orders and shipped them together. Her communication was phenomenal and she was super helpful!

5 out of 5 starsLove this so much. The print is high quality and looks perfect. I also ordered the frame to go with it. Unfortunately the plexiglass arrived with a crack but Karen was super responsive and is sending a replacement. I highly recommend this shop.

Why does she create these maps?
The first Hand Cut Map was created as part of her 5th year architecture thesis. A more beautiful, non-typical, site map. A map layered with more information than any other. Since then, she quietly worked on these beauties for her own enjoyment. In October of 2009, she listed the nyc mapcut (an 8 ft. x 10 ft. hand cut map) on Etsy, in hopes of earning a few dollars. The images of the delicate streets of New York got circulated throughout the online design community and a business was unintentionally created. She makes the most beautiful hand cut maps, you'll ever see. Her modern maps are more than a navigational tool, they are collected and treasured by many for the memories and stories they tell. They become heirlooms. What places tell your life story?
Where can I find her work?
Her modern maps can be seen at the following places…
