This mug is part of Ashley’s Chicago neighborhood collection with Bakehouse Chicago. Each design focuses on the architecture, gathering places, and small details that help residents recognize their own corner of the city.
The Lakeview design is one part of Ashley’s Bakehouse Chicago neighborhood collection, which has moved hundreds of mugs across the Lakeview, Southport, and Roscoe Village shops.
Each element began as an individual hand drawing. Ashley refined the artwork and arranged the pieces into a continuous design made to wrap around a ceramic mug, creating a keepsake that feels specific to Lakeview.
The story behind the mug
Ashley partnered with Bakehouse Chicago to create a mug rooted in Lakeview.
Research and community input highlighted lakefront life, baseball, theatres, transit, and Chicago neighbourhood character.
Ashley translated each selected place and symbol into an individual hand-drawn illustration.
The drawings were refined and arranged into a continuous design that rewards a closer look.
The finished mug became a locally available keepsake through Bakehouse Chicago.

The creative process
I drew Wrigley Field, Belmont Harbor, Music Box Theatre, and Lake Michigan as individual pieces before bringing them together. Their different shapes and stories gave me the rhythm for a wraparound composition that feels layered, personal, and specific to Lakeview.
