Mapping My Journey

Mapping My Journey is a visual record of my daily route from Limburg to the Design Academy Eindhoven, transforming observations into a cohesive map.

‍

I began by noting highlights along the way and turned these into sketches, later expanding my research by listing everything visible on both sides of the route. This research informed the design and scale of the map, while interviews with others added diverse perspectives and stories to enrich the project.

‍

After testing multiple prototypes and incorporating feedback to add more white space for clarity, I finalised a map that feels both personal and visually engaging. Printed in collaboration with a friend, Mapping My Journey captures the essence of my daily travel while demonstrating how design can transform everyday observations into a meaningful narrative.
