Personal Map Quest

Description

Meet local gal Jenny Beorkrem. She's the 24-year-old designer and founder of Ork Posters, otherwise known as the latest obsession of everyone who sits within a 20-foot radius of my desk at Gen Art. Why? She makes the coolest wall candy ever—and it's totally affordable. The back story: "Ork Posters began whilst searching for a Chicago neighborhood poster that wouldn't cramp my style (or my home decor style)," Beorkrem explains. "My search came up empty, so I decided to design one for myself. The project became quite cumbersome with 91 Chicago neighborhoods in all. But I finally finished the poster and liked it so much that I thought others might like it too." And thus an empire began.
