I’m a GIS analyst and cartographer focused on clear, intentional map design. My work sits at the intersection of spatial analysis, visual communication, and accessibility, with an emphasis on maps that are both functional and thoughtfully composed.
This portfolio includes a mix of cartographic projects, exploratory analyses, and web-based mapping work. Most of these projects were created in public land management and academic contexts, where clarity, accuracy, and usability matter more than visual noise.
A digital reinterpretation of a 1940s wilderness map, created through manual digitization of original boundaries and labels. The project focuses on preserving the visual language of the source material while adapting it for modern digital display. Design decisions emphasized typographic clarity, restrained color, and subtle texture to reflect the original printed map without overwhelming the underlying geography.

A map of grizzly bear range along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route in western Montana, created for the wildlife and habitat section of my atlas. The highlighted range, shaded terrain, and light route line show how this section of the ride passes through grizzly country.

The Jefferson County Parks & Open Space Explorer is a public-facing web application I developed to replace the old Parks Dashboard and bring related public mapping tools together.
Built in ArcGIS Experience Builder, the application lets users explore parks, trail profiles, designated uses, trail difficulty, and human–wildlife interaction data. The design includes layouts for different screen sizes, descriptive alternative text, and instructions to help visitors and staff use the tools.
The Explorer was designed as a long-term foundation rather than a one-off product. Its modular structure supports additional datasets, tools, and applications as needs evolve, allowing Jefferson County Parks & Open Space to maintain a consistent public experience while continuing to expand functionality over time.
A study of how terrain and trail networks relate to search and rescue incidents in Yosemite National Park. Using spatial clustering analysis and global and local regression models, this project explores how environmental relationships vary across the park.

A good map should give people a better understanding of the place it represents. I put a lot of thought into what needs to stand out and what can stay in the background. That balance depends on who the map is for and how they’ll use it. My goal is to make something that’s inviting and easy to read, with enough detail to reward a closer look.
