I am a senior level designer with over 17 years experience in the field. My most recent experience is working with CECA, the Coalition to Expand Contraceptive Access, and prior to that I was the Art Director for a small political design firm. Both have given me the opportunity to work closely with clients on a wide variety of issues, and working in the realm of politics has honed both my speed and my ability to translate the needs of a variety of ideas into successful design. As you can imagine, the world of politics is fast-paced, with last minute changes occurring right up to press time. When sending mail, you have seconds to grab and hold the attention of the reader before your mail is relegated to the recycle bin. I relish the challenges creating eye catching publications that draw the consumer in. Politics is an environment in which I would juggle vastly different candidates, all with very different backgrounds and policy issues they were hoping to put into action once elected. Working for CECA, I created a brand identity, including logo, colors, themes, and guides. Through the years have come to understand the importance of strong branding, which was as important in politics as it is in the non-profit work I have done. I am a big believer in the power of design being used to inform people. I truly believe that there are unique and interesting ways to reach large audiences in a short amount of time, and I always relish the opportunity to apply those techniques in our daily lives. From signage in the hallways to entire lectures and presentations, design is integral to our existence and safety, can be used to inspire or warn, and for those reasons, I became a designer. In terms of my approach to design, I am a firm believer in simple messaging and clean design are the most effective way to make a point.

Hi there! I am an experienced cartographer and worldbuilder with years of experience designing worlds, and mapping their regions, cities, planets, and more. I specialize in fantasy and science fiction themed maps, but I also quite often do historical maps. While many artists have one specific style they prefer, I enjoy the challenge of taking on and perfecting any style of map you are looking for. If you don't have a specific style in mind, no problem! I will take the information you give me about what you are looking for in your map and will come up with a style tailored just for you. In addition to maps, I am happy to help you more broadly with your worldbuilding needs, including help designing worlds, planets, cultures, economic systems, and stories. I draw from the deep recesses of history, anthropology, and archaeology to help design worlds that are unique, believable, and beautiful. My design process for maps all starts with planning: 1. Review scope of map, including my client’s preferred style and any information on the content to be captured. 2. Make decisions on stylistic approach and mapping asset types to be used. 3. Create base map and mapping assets (such as mountain and tree styles, fonts, place markers, etc). Depending on the style of map I use the following tools: a. Base map creation: sketching, Photoshop/Gimp, QGIS, Wonderdraft, Wilbur (for topographical maps) b. Assets: sketching, Photoshop/Gimp, Blender, Quadspinner Gaea (for realistic 3D topography), Creative Commons materials (for some map assets and textures), Styles2Paints (for some coloring needs), other tools and resources as needed. c. Final editing: Photoshop/Gimp 4. Full draft map completed for review and comments. 5. Map finalized and stylized in Photoshop/Gimp. I see my process as a collaborative effort with you. My main goal is ensure you have the best possible map that meets all your expectations and more! To that end, I am happy to have a free consultation prior to work. I look forward to creating with you! Alex
