Illustrated Maps

My love of maps is why I am a data visualization engineer. Here I combine my love and knowledge of cartography, geography and art. Every map tells a story. A story about people, landscapes and lives lived, whether real or imagined. It is one of the things I find most compelling about maps and the reason I return to them again and again. For me, all stories begin in a place, in relation to the world; on a map.

Costume Design and Construction

Costume design and construction fulfills my desire for tangible storytelling. Costume plates are themselves a form of data visualization and the construction of the illustrated designs is combines technical skill and creative problem solving to create a garment that communicates something about a who a person is and how they want to be in the world.
