Mapping to support exploration of
new or familiar places
Wayfinding is about knowing where you are and how to get where you want to go. However, it also includes how to recognise when you’re there, and sometimes how to find your way out of a place.
Kingsbridge Town
Working with Steer and Trueform
This wayfinding system is inspired by Cookworthy’s Kingsbridge. From the earthy colour palette with cobalt highlights to typography reminiscent of the potters’ marks. It encourages you to explore just as Cookworthy once did.
Teamwork
Working alongside Trueform (manufacturers) and Steer (designers), I created this open-source mapping to reflect the peacefulness of the South Devon coastal resort.
Location planning
Trueform installed three totems to support foot traffic through the town. From the quayside market square, up through the climbing high street, to the Cookworthy Museum. The museum houses the inspirational porcelain and local heritage resources captured in the totems.
Bespoke design
Unique symbology such as crabbing locations, kayaking and boat launches, are included on the map to give this project its own identity. Similarily, innovative features like the defibrillator locations help to idenitfy and raise their profile within the town. The design and layout encourages use of the town’s surrounding amenities, as well as engaging visitors to its eclectic selection of shopping and rural activities.
City of Toronto Wayfinding
Clare has been involved in wayfinding in Toronto since 2013. Previously, her experience working with T-Kartor on Legible London maps gave her the opportunity to connect these teams and support the wayfinding development across Toronto with Steer.
Over that time, she has developed maps for everyday visitors, cyclists, tourists, PATH network users, park users, bus riders, Bike Share subscribers, and most recently for Toronto Island visitors.
