Maps usually depict places, their physical features, cities, roads, topography…

But, for my guest Sonja Bajic, her maps capture so much more. Her hand drawn maps immortalise your experience, feelings, perspective and memories of a place. And, for Sonja, it’s not just about places; everything can be a map.

Tune into this episode with illustrator, artist and mapmaker Sonja Bajic, to find out:

  • How she got into mapmaking
  • How anything can be turned into a map
  • Why maps help keep memories alive
  • How everyone is creative (and can start to make their own maps)


Happy listening!
