About

I am a freelance cartographer based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. As an admirer of all things mapping and love for cartography, as well as my profession in the geospatial industry and making maps, I am passionate in exploring the many time-tested and emerging designs of maps. I strive to create high-quality, intriguing cartographic designs that will fascinate and inspire.

My map projects are available for purchase on my Etsy shop. I am also available for contract on mapping projects and general geographic information services. Please send a message on the home page for project inquires and requests.
