I’m so excited to be named one of Etsy’s Star Sellers for December!! Handling this business on top of grad school and other work is, well, not an easy feat! I try my best to give an amazing product to my customers, communicate and respond to messages on time, and ship products out as soon as possible. Thank you all for supporting Visterra Designs — I couldn’t do this without you ♥️

And the Pacific Crest Trail Map is so here!! ✨Check it out through the link in my bio!
I decided to take a different approach to the icons for this map. Each of the 12 National Parks within California, Oregon, and Washington are featured as colorful badges to give you a glimpse into iconic places in the parks. I’m thinking about making each one into stickers to be sold separately as well... Let me know what you all think!
OH, did I mention that an 11-year old hiked this 2,659 mile trail from Mexico to Canada? If that doesn’t give you inspiration this Monday, I don’t know what will! 😊

Hey everyone! Currently doing a group project for one of my classes for my MBA Program (No, this actually has nothing to do with National Parks!). I would greatly appreciate it if you can take this quick survey to build data for my assignment. At the end of the survey, there will be a thank you gift provided :)

OUR PRIDE, OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Our mission is as vast as the National Parks themselves, but it can perhaps be best defined by our name. The name Visterra is built from two Latin words: vis, meaning visible or related to sight; and terra, meaning land or territory. Together, they encapsulate and guide everything we aim to do as a company. Specifically, to make the grandeur of our awe-inspiring National Parks, our most prized territory, visible from above. To use the power of the visual — in the form of artistically designed prints — to give people a sense of the size, scale, and significance these parks have. To allow people to see, celebrate, and support their beauty without needing to travel (though, of course, feel free to travel — they’re worth it).
We focus on contemporary printed maps as our visual medium of choice, with each new print honoring one of the National Parks. Every map has its own unique, visually striking design, full of details that will capture your attention. You’ll see campsites, trails, main roads, and popular places within the park — and if you take a step back, you’ll see subtle outlines of the most common animals found in the park, animals that deserve celebration and protection as much as the land itself. Whether it hangs in your bedroom or dining room, your hallway or office, a Visterra map will always serve as a modern, eye-catching reminder of the importance of preserving our National Parks and their natural beauty. Each map is available as a printed poster, with canvas versions coming soon.
While honoring and raising awareness of the National Parks’ beauty is a noble goal, we don’t stop there. The maps will also benefit the National Parks, with a portion of each sale going directly to the National Park Foundation. The National Park Foundation is the official charitable partner of the National Park Service, and spearheads important efforts like restoring the Everglades, providing educational grants to the parks, and raising awareness in future generations by bringing students nationwide to the parks. That means that when you purchase a map, you’re also helping to protect the land it depicts.
