I design custom maps for academic and independent books, magazines, reports, and interpretive publications. I have particular experience in the landscapes, cultures, and ecological histories of the Southwest.
A good editorial map helps readers orient themselves quickly and see the larger story at a glance. I make maps that tell the story, are clear, researched, visually balanced, and uncluttered. They are built for scholarly reading and work across offset, digital, grayscale, ebook, and print-on-demand production.
