Maps
I once worked as a graphic designer for Esri, a company specializing in GIS map-making software. When friends asked my Dad what I was doing, he would say "Making maps." I've been fortunate to collaborate with clients on illustrated map projects, transforming geographic data into compelling visual narratives that invite exploration and wonder.
Rio de Janeiro
Anthology Magazine:
I created this map with more perspective to better show the mountains around Rio.
Hot Sauce!
Carribean Map
An art director loved my DR map and requested a similar one for a book on hot sauce:
Hot Sauce!: Techniques for Making Signature Hot Sauces
Mexico:
Regional Food Map
Another art director for Better Homes & Gardens assigned me a job for 1 large map of Mexico and 7 smaller maps for a special issue highlighting regional Mexican cusine. Inspired by Mexican hand-painted signs, I hand-lettered all the text and illustrations in ink, scanned them and assembled and colored in Photoshop.
Santo Domingo
Colonial Zone
For this self-initiated project, I returned to the subject of the DR but this time focusing on the Colonial Zone of the capital, Santo Domingo.
