SINCE 2014
Our story
140,000+ Maps Sold
10+ Years of Cartography
210 flags on every world map
I started Landmass in 2014 as a side project, with a passion for sharing my stories around travel. I was working at Harvard as a designer, developer and cartographer, making digital maps for students, and somewhere in there I fell in love with the process of making a map. Back then we sold apparel and a few simple maps.
That first year was an experiment, but I found I really enjoyed making and selling physical things, and seeing my creations out in the wild. We had a map hat back then, and people would stop me to share their travel stories. I loved that.
Landmass was always about expanding people’s horizons, and I wanted to give that feeling back too. We gave a portion of our profits to the Fund for Education Abroad, which sent students on a first trip abroad they otherwise wouldn’t have had, and to the National Geographic Society, to keep funding the kind of daring expeditions that inspire all of us.
Landmass changed and evolved, very much as I did, and along the way it went through different hands.
Today we make maps that let you collect your stories, share them, and get inspired for the next one. There’s a simple, giftable 24x17 map, and the XL, printed in the USA, the most detailed map we make. We’re expanding the map line now, and continuing to evolve, as we hope you are too.
