I make maps. I make maps because I love maps. It's been this way since I was a boy. Making maps has always been the career I aspired to. Through much hard work, careful planning and perseverance I have been able to turn my childhood dream into reality. For the past 12 years I have supported myself entirely by the creation of projects involving maps on some level. My business practice has been to only take on work where the creation of a map is involved. I will create and entire publication, app or product if even a single original map is to be included. From standard locator maps to highly detailed illustrated maps I treat every map I create as a piece of art. For me maps are art.
