Krajnik combines art with love of Leelanau

Surrounded by vintage typewriters and a colorful array of stickers that will soon guide visitors through northern Michigan’s hidden gem, Journey Krajnik carefully works on her next illustration.

“I’ll always go to the place, take a photo, and then work off of the photo so it’s super accurate,” she said with excitement in her voice. For Krajnik, every illustration is more than art, it’s a love letter to the peninsula she’s called home her whole life.

Krajnik is the founder of OurVenture, a business she officially launched in February of this year.
