About Us

I’m a self-taught cartographer with a love of maps and the landscapes they represent. I’m also a programmer, and found that these two areas have a fascinating intersection in the field of geospatial software.

I first developed map-making software for the navigational sport of rogaining. While improving the software, I began creating statewide topographic map series for use with smartphones. I’ve now diversified into printed maps—a more traditional pursuit which benefits greatly from modern tools and data.

In my printed maps, I aim to provide an optimal balance of detail and coverage, with no space wasted and an eye to aesthetics. I hope they’ll be a great addition to your kit.
