** Testimonials **

Isabel's hand-drawn map exceeded my expectations! She captured every special place perfectly, and working with her was a pleasure from start to finish.

James Mitchell
Private commission

I asked Isabel to illustrate a map of my farm. She was a pleasure to work with; she understood my ideas and hopes, and offered insightful suggestions which enhanced the design. She kept in contact throughout the process, and was careful to check details with me at every stage. The final map is everything I had hoped for, and so much better than I could have imagined.
