CREATIVE STATEMENT
Over the years, my expertise in map illustration has developed due to my passion for drawing, hand lettering, design, and exploring new places. I approach each map like a puzzle, trying my best to fit all of the most important elements and typography into the design. My goal is to make maps that are not only visually appealing but are also informative. I often cater the style of my map illustrations to the type of assignment. Some are more decorative in nature while others are more informational.

Q&A
What is your most memorable vacation spot?
This would have to be a toss up between Cape Cod and Stowe, Vermont. My family and I visit the Cape every year, we have lots of great memories there. My wife and I try to sneak away to Stowe every summer, lots of great breweries, restaurants and beautiful hiking spots.
What is your favorite mode of transportation?
I prefer to travel by car.
Which do you prefer: mountains, desert, beach, or forest?
I'm definitely a beach person. There's something about the ocean that relaxes me.
