  • Working with Briar was an absolute pleasure. She was easy to communicate with, quickly understood my vision, and brought it to life even better than I imagined. What impressed me most was how little explanation she needed. She just got it. Every revision was handled quickly, she was receptive to feedback, and her attention to detail was outstanding. The final map is beautiful, professional, and perfectly captures the feel of the property. I’ve already received numerous compliments on it. If you’re looking for someone talented, creative, responsive, and genuinely great to work with, I highly recommend Briar.

    — Cameron, Firefly Nature Retreat

  • Briar is the ultimate professional. She is a skilled graphic designer and absolute whiz with map creation. I needed 10 maps designed for a project and she was always fast to respond to questions. She never needed to ask follow up questions because she understood me from the get-go. Briar always kept me in the loop and never left me hanging. I felt confident that Briar would create exactly what I needed before the deadline and would definitely use her again in the future.

    — Michelle, Destination Sydney Surrounds North

  • This map was everything that we could have wanted - our event is at a large sprawling estate that can be confusing to navigate, and Briar took all of our map assets and created a clear, beautiful, engaging map! In revising, she was incredibly responsive and gracious with her time to make sure that it was exactly what we wanted. Very quick delivery time, stellar customer service. All around, a wonderful artist and person to work with. HIGHLY recommend. We are so thankful!

    — Andrea, Youth Performance Institute

  • Briar was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was prompt, diligent, artistic, and creative - all while delivering a great final product. I was amazed at how quickly she was able to respond to suggestions, corrections, and alterations to various drafts, and was able to execute my vision cleanly, clearly, and beautifully. My project in particular had a lot of information to convey, and I'm still astounded at how she was able to incorporate all the information clearly and cleanly to be gleaned at a mere glance of the map. I cannot recommend her services enough.

    — Hugh Hothem, Author

  • We commissioned Briar to create us a custom map of Adelaide to showcase our hotel and apartment properties, and she absolutely nailed it! She was timely in her responses, perfectly understood our vision, and had a fast turnaround time for the final product and the final revisions. 10/10 would recommend working with Briar!

  • Briar truly impressed with a visually appealing and PROFESSIONAL illustration delivery! Her deep understanding of the project needs made collaboration seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend working with Briar!

    — Jonathan, Gatlinburg Adventure Rentals

Her words: “This is the greatest thing in the world!” She couldn’t believe the attention to detail. The work was beautiful and it was done quickly and correctly. I have zero hesitation in recommending Briar.

    — Min, Project Manager

  • Absolutely incredible! We had a very complicated map we needed designed for our golf course and accommodation - Briar nailed it! She is also so lovely to work with… she is so detailed and a fabulous communicator.

    — Chrissy, Legends Golf Course & Villas

  • Briar was fantastic to work with! She created a custom map for our hotel which was exactly what we needed. She used our branding and was able to create what we needed with very little direction. I would definitely recommend and use Briar again!

Not only were my branding colors followed but communication was seamless. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Looking forward to giving this as a gift printed onto beach towels! Hoping to work with her again in the future.
