If cartophilia is a disease
which causes its victims to be obsessed with the study of
maps, I have been stricken with this since very early childhood.
It began with my own family and their burning desire to travel.
My first experience with maps was as a small child. My parents
would put a map in front of me to keep me from asking “How
much farther ‘til we get there?” as we headed
down the road. As a family, we travelled extensively which
required a lot of time in the car. The tourist map, you could
say, was my entertainment.
I also have a deep affection for drawing and watercolour.
This combined with my love of maps lead to the discovery of
cartography. After the completion of a university degree in
geography I went on to achieve a Cartographic Technologist
diploma. From there I began working in various positions as
both a cartographer and geographic information specialist.
The dream to start a cartography business was realized through
the opening of Creative Cartographics. My focus is to provide
my clients with beautifully designed, affordable and unique
cartographic products. My devotion to geographical sciences
combined with my passion for the graphic arts will allow me
to provide a comprehensive service, specializing in stylish,
quality map products.
