Business DescriptionAll Mapped Out was born out of wanting to combine my love for maps (and my education in geography and cartography) with my bent for design, antiquing, and repurposing goods. A map nerd to my very core, by day I work for a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the discipline of geography and geography education, and by night (and weekends) I craft cartography-inspired products. Everyone has a strong sense of place – a connection to somewhere they lived, loved, traveled, worked, studied, or one day dream to go. I collect outdated and vintage maps and atlases and repurpose them into one-of-a-kind coaster sets, with the actual maps featured on the coasters (not a copy). I hope my coasters can add a little cartography to the coffee table, remind people of their special connections to places in the world, and help add a sense of place to one’s space (I do accept custom requests for map coaster locations). I also create geography and cartography inspired digital designs for apparel and other home décor.
