I make maps, both for work and as a hobby.

My day job at the School of Cities includes making web-based maps, charts, dashboards, and data stories about various urban issues (transportation, housing, sustainability, etc.). Most of these projects are hosted on GitHub.

My largest recent hobby cartography project was a vintage-style wall map of Central Toronto, about 60cm x 90cm (2' x 3') in size. The goal was to make a map for my home office as well as print a few to give as gifts. Click on the image below to view at a higher resolution.

Below are links to a number of my other cartography projects as well as a few other visual experiments (data viz, sketches, notes, "art", etc.) from the past decade or so. These projects vary quite a bit in terms of scope, scale, process, and purpose. They are somewhat ordered chronologically by creation date. Most are available to share under Creative Commons licenses, unless stated otherwise.
