About me
Jenni Sparks is an illustrator, designer, map maker, and typography designer. Originally from Somerset, England, she is based in North London where she has her studio. After creating her first illustrated map of London in 2012, she went on to create illustrations of New York, Paris, Berlin and San Francisco. Her detailed, informative and often humorous maps have been featured in international newspapers and publications and exhibited and sold as prints in several art galleries around the world. The London map has been used as part of tourist campaigns for the city, and even enlarged to cover the floor of London Gatwick Airport as a huge public artwork. Since then she has continued to illustrate and has worked with clients such as Nike, Adidas, Google, Carnaby St, BHV Paris, Grazia, Variety Magazine, Absolut, Lonely Planet, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Harper Collins and Sesame Street.
Projects
  • Culture Trip x SXSW
    Culture Trip x SXSWI was asked by Culture Trip to create a map of Austin, Texas as part of the promotion for a film that they were debuting at SXSW festival. It showcases the various places that they visited in the film.
  • Oxford Street Christmas Map
    Oxford Street Christmas MapI was asked by New West End Company, who manage Oxford Street in London, to create an illustrated map of the street for the 2019 Christmas lights switch on. It was then turned into an interactive map that people could click on to find out what was happening in each store during the festive period.
  • Hand Drawn Map of London
    Hand Drawn Map of LondonIn Spring 2012 I was commissioned to create a map of London that subverted the idea of the traditional tourist map, and instead showcased the culture and personality of each part of the city, as well as the best places to go. The Hand Drawn Map of London is available for purchase at evermade.com

  • WHAT'S BUGGING YOU? A powerful 7 step coaching session
    WHAT'S BUGGING YOU? A powerful 7 step coaching sessionLife is full of problems, big and small. They can seem overwhelming, so we try to ignore them - but the problems remain. With help, we can find ways to address these things that bother us, and move on. The map is a powerful seven step coaching exercise which all the team tried and it worked for us! Jenni, the illustrator made life-changing decisions, Mike used it to clarify a messy domestic situation and Tina used it to bring Mapology Guides to market. We think it will work for you too.
