EULER SPIRAL CARD
This piece was created for Daniel Huffman’s map projection trading cards project. The idea is to have a set of trading cards for carto-enthusiasts to collect and exchange at conferences, featuring the wide variety of map projections out there. The maps on the cards showcasing these projections are all designed by volunteer cartographers. For my […]

I decided to do all my maps with dry erase markers on the whiteboard […]

This ArcGIS StoryMap was created to highlight and explore data derived from Jonathan C McDowell’s website, Jonathan’s Space Report, and covers every attempted rocket launch to orbit around the world between […]

ST VINCENT ISLAND
I have never actually set foot on St. Vincent Island, but it’s sandwiched between a lot of places I love and close enough to home that whenever I open up a web map I can usually see it sitting there, just on the periphery. The stark ridges crossing the island from end to end are […]

APALACHICOLA RIVER TABLE
Literal data table? Over several months, I designed and upgraded a tabletop salvaged from the dumpster to feature the entire Apalachicola River, curled into a spiral, with the headwaters at the table’s center. Then I made a Story Map explaining the process and highlighting all the reasons I think that river is awesome. Click the […]
