Meet Courtney Edwards, a marine cartographer turning her lifelong love of printed maps and life on the water into beautiful, purposeful maps. Come our to see how life & work on the water shape her maps.

Courtney runs her business from her sailboat and sometimes the Race Rocks Light Station, she combines first-hand marine experience with cartographic craft. Her work starts with one question: what job does this map need to do? From field maps that help dive crews adapt to changing conditions to ocean-first wall maps that let people bring their stories home, she creates maps for decisions, stories, adventures, and connection to place.
