Why New York?
We — independent creators and travelers — have decided to create a map of New York City, reflecting its spirit, its diversity, multinationality, versatility and multiculturalism
For us, New York is a special city, a city for everyone. This is a place where people of different cultures come together. Freedom of opinion and sexual orientations, which are mixed in one place. Multinational, bright, colorful, ambiguous — this is how we see it and want to show it to you.

Our team
The authors of the project are so different and wonderful, but we are united by one thing — we are crazy about New York
Marija Turina
On our map, the most attractive places in Manhattan come to life thanks to watercolors of the artist Marija Turina. Marija is a talented illustrator from the Netherlands with over a decade of commercial art and design experience. Her work is amazingly detailed, and the characters are bright and multifaceted. The images are so carefully worked out that one involuntarily asks the question: “Will they be able to come to life?”
Vasily Danilenko
An entrepreneur and traveler, has traveled all over the states in 7 years and came to the conclusion that New York City is the place where the whole world is concentrated. Waso has had many start-ups and is now doing print-to-order at Merch38. He has been living in the USA for many years, so he knows a lot of stories and urban legends and is the producer of our project.
Tom Beck

SoDA brings together nearly 100 agencies in 20 countries and helps the world's most promising brands to envision and bring to life the future of digital experiences.
Roadmap
We’ll collaborate with local communities, historians, and experts to uncover the unique stories and landmarks that represent the diverse fabric of New York City
Production
We have years of experience with projects like this. We know what we are getting into production-wise, although of course surprises can happen.

As the maps are printed and packaged locally, and the nature of our relationship with these partners is very collaborative, we can react quickly in the case of a misprint or if a certain effect doesn’t work properly.
Shipping
Freight delays are still plaguing the industry. We haven’t landed on our shipping partner for this project yet, but reliability is priority number one. If the map isn’t delivered properly, we’ll always ship a new copy at our expense.
So our map is...
  • A unique art object created with love for New York City and new-yorkers
  • An unusual souvenir that can be kept after a trip or added to the collection of artifacts of your favorite city
  • A statement about cultural and social diversity and freedom of expression
  • A great gift for anyone who loves traveling and appreciates art
  • A kind of historical document that represents New York City as it is today
