Map Your Memories & Adventures With Topography

We're Sara and Sawyer, outdoor lovers who find peace and inspiration in nature. Every hike, every outing, every camping trip is special to us, and those memories deserve more than a standard photo or a generic souvenir. We wanted something unique, a way to capture the way a place looked and felt.

That's where topography maps came in. Unlike regular maps, these detailed artworks capture the very essence of a landscape – the soaring peaks, winding rivers, and rolling hills. They tell the story of the land itself, its formation, and the paths we carve across it. Looking at these maps, we saw our adventures in a whole new light and thought ‘what if we could use topography to capture our story?’

We began by combining Sawyer's woodworking and architectural expertise with Sara's graphic design talent. The result? Artwork inspired by the topography of our favorite places. Our home slowly became a mini-museums of our experiences, each piece a portal to our unforgettable adventures. The response from friends and family was incredible. These weren't just pictures on the wall – they captured the soul of a place, the way it made you feel. That's when we realized this passion project could be something bigger than us. Maybe other people wanted a way to hold onto their special memories in their favorite places, too.

Inspired by this idea, Sara quit her day job to chase this dream full-time with Sawyer. And today, SML helps you transform your favorite places into lasting works of art. We take those fleeting moments and turn them into permanent reminders of the life-changing experiences you've had. With SML, you can bring a piece of that adventure home, a constant reminder of the moments that shaped you.
