Digital Mapping

The possibilities are endless! I always am trying to push myself and explore new visual styles digitally. Everything from city zoning maps to skin tracks high in the alpine. If you have a map idea, bring it on.

BLUE RIVER ECODUSTRIAL DISTRICT - KC

BLUE RIVER ECODUSTRIAL DISTRICT - KC

I partnered with a design firm and Kansas City to develop a new map set that better reflects the values of the new urban plan. Connecting nature, industry and community, I used green earth tones, and darker, blues and greys to express the connections they were trying to make, and the customers they were hoping to attract.

USGS - LAKE CHELAN 1968

USGS - LAKE CHELAN 1968

This was a personal project I tried out just for kicks. A very popular art style these days that bridges the gap between historic topo maps and new cutting edge methods of modelling relief. The basemap is a 1968 USGS 7.5 min quad of Manson WA, and the shaded relief was modelled in Blender and compiled in photoshop.

YELLOWSTONE NATNL. PARK

YELLOWSTONE NATNL. PARK

This map was created for Home Decor Maps, in a style similar to the 50 state series we had partnered on for the last 2 years. It's meant to be modern, elegant, and minimalistic. Something that people want to hang up on their walls. Terrain and major roads are shown, physical features are labelled and that's pretty much it.

PICO DE ORIZABA (CITLALTÉPETL)

PICO DE ORIZABA (CITLALTÉPETL)

Reference map of the area around Mexico's tallest peak (and North America's 3rd). Landcover data, satellite imagery, and elevation were combined to create a basemap that expresses the regions' unique topography and weather patterns.

WASATCH WINTER

WASATCH WINTER

Created in the fall of 2021 as a donation piece for the Utah Avalanche Center. The base of this map was hand painted with acrylics, and it is a great example of how art and real world data can be combined through the medium of cartography. And! Over $2500 in profits have been donated to the UAC since the print was released!

MOUNT ROBSON & BERG LAKE

MOUNT ROBSON & BERG LAKE

This was a fun little map series for a client who wanted to commemorate 3 summer backpacking trips through the medium of maps. He wanted them to be colorful, minimalistic and only show what was special about that adventure. A custom mountain icon was also drawn for each map.

BEND OREGON

BEND OREGON

Bend! It's such a cute little town, with such incredibly easy access to outdoor spaces. I grew up climbing and skiing in Bend, and my parents are in the process of moving down there (like everyone else and their dog). This map was originally a gift to them, trying to capture the character of the city, while also helping them get a sense of place. but it is now also on sale on Etsy, and this style has since become a series.

BRIDGER RIDGE

BRIDGER RIDGE

This map, is my pride and joy. I have always wanted to take a stab at utilizing the swiss style of drawing rocks. Hand drawn pen and ink illustration traced from satellite imagery were combined with a graphite hillshade and compiled in photoshop with various other layers to create a visually appealling map of ridgeline ski routes off the Bridger Mountain range in SW Montana.

OLD GROWTH FORESTS

A comprehensive map that summed up global data from various sources, to show current remaining old growth forests, and what is being threatened by human encroachment.

Social and Physical science research through GIS analysis and spatial statistics. I am particularly passionate in cartography for Earth Sciences (water/ice resources, geology, gemorphology, energy, ecology, fire) but am available for any type of place based anaylsis work! Experienced in industry standard (ArcGIS Pro, Adobe, etc.) as well as open source software (QGIS, Mapbox, Python, R)
