Map was founded by John Rudolph in 2020, after spending the previous 10 years as a Creative Director, Copywriter, and Designer at the design studios and advertising agencies in Connecticut.

He has developed branding, packaging and identity systems for businesses ranging from start-up to Fortune 500, and set new standards for editorial and web design in industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, finance, and higher education.

No matter what the communications challenge — and regardless of the ultimate solution — he believe the best investment a brand can make is good design.
