About Me

"Are you serving that ape a martini?" - Karen Ross, Congo 1995

Graphic Design & Cartography are my passions - along with Australian Shepherds, 1950s advertising design, old European faery tale illustration and the 1995 documentary Congo.

In the past two years I have received the following recognitions: Cartography awards: 2nd place Post Secondary, 2019 EsriUC Map Gallery and 3rd place Large Format Printed Maps, 2017 EsriUC Map Gallery; A series of my maps were published in the 2018 ESRI Map Book #33 and 2019 Map Book #34. I am a recent recipient of the HOW Regional Design Award, a prestigous design industry recognition. And recently placed first at the 2018 WAURISA conference map gallery for the Women in Stem map project (designed for the Washington Women in Geospatial Technology organization). I recently graduated with a Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies from University of Washington and work as a cartographer for the USDA Forest Service.

Recent Work /Maps

Get your 3D glasses and check out this spectacular anaglyph version of my Congo Map

Realizing this amazing Congo Map dream that intends to represent the geographic and geological hazards encountered by the Travicom Expedition into the Congo in 1995.

These are some maps that I made while at University of Washington in the MSGT program.

High Park Fire

This is a map of the High Park Fire burn area; Colorado's second largest wildfire as of 2012. This map placed 2nd at the 2019 Esri Map Gallery and will be on display at the NACIS conference in October. A nice palette-cleansing experience making this one, because serious cartographers use Illustrator.

Seattle Black Map

Created as an experiment to make a map entirely using only ArcPro. It remains unfinished because attempting the level of design functionality that I am accustomed to is simply not possible without invoking graphic design software.

Yakima River

This ghostly image is a channel migration zone map made with LiDAR data, using a DEM to detect channel history of a section of the Yakima River. Who's Dan Coe now?
