I commissioned Jen to draw a map of our property as a gift for my husband. My husband was overwhelmed and speechless when he saw the map and said ‘best gift ever’. A map created by Jen is distinctive and individualized. Jen does a LOT of research when drawing a map. She infused our map with personal notes/items that she took from talking with me, viewing photos, and reading numerous emails. My family has pored over this map–amazed how Jen was able to envision and capture the essence, fun, and specialness of our place in a map. This is what makes a custom-drawn map from Jen so distinctive. A CUSTOM MAP FROM STEADY HAND MAPS IS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL GIFT INDEED.

We wanted to let you know how amazingly your maps were received! Everyone we gave one to was over the moon! Our friends were genuinely touched to receive such an unusual, yet personalized gift. Honestly, our most even-keeled, non-emotional friends got teary-eyed when they opened their gift! True gift-giving success!

Thank you for creating these gifts that will be treasured for years to come!

He loved the map! Thank you for making something special we can both treasure.

I’m crying and loving this, he’s going to freak out. Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to have this hanging up in our house.

I wanted to show my love and appreciation for my partner by highlighting and celebrating the very place we truly became a family – our home and neighborhood in Phoenix. In creating the map, Jen asked me thoughtful questions about the connections we have to our place that I didn’t even think of! The result is a map and work of art that speaks to our history together, our shared values, and the beauty of the place we live. If you want to captivate your audience and get your point across, I’d give Jen and Steady Hand Maps a shout.

For our Signature Exhibition, Picturing Home: Dust Bowl Migrants in Chandler, we reached out to Jen Urso to create an illustrated map highlighting the different dwellings of the time. Not only was Jen able to accommodate our needs but she went above and beyond doing her own research. She was able to add in embellishments that were referential to the era and the drawings of the different housing was perfection. Our visitors have raved about the map and many use it as a reference point when going through the exhibition. We would highly recommend Jen, her promptness and professional attitude made working with her a breeze.
