behind the name 🍄✨

me / ish + maps = ishmaps :)

Heyaa, I'm Ish and I have a range of hobbies, I like sewing, claying (not a word but gotta rhyme), crafting, basically I have that bad itch called "I can do it myself".

I’ve always had a knack for doodling. I’d fill my notebooks with them during class, make doodle stories to help my friends understand the celeb gossip as they lived in I DONT KNOW WHAT WORLD 🤯. And then I made my very first map for my siblings and they absolutely sobbed at it. So in the Summer of 2025, it all began ✍️

I genuinely enjoy making maps. It carries such a sentimentally nostalgic feeling, gently making you look back at how you got here and IT HITS YOU HARD 🥹🥹. But honestly the best part is hearing the reaction when someone receives their map. They become so overwhelmed, their eyes well up and ahhhhhhh!!!, I'm just amazed i can touch people’s emotions that way.

With every map I create, I aim to make it feel truly personal and I hope I get the chance to commemorate your story too.

Love ❤️,
Ish
