About Me
I am a New York-based graphic designer and software developer, specializing in cartography (mapmaking). I also develop moderately complex websites, such as the portfolio site you are currently viewing.
I did my undergraduate studies in mathematics at Dartmouth College, where I spent considerably less time in class than I did in the graphic design studio of the Hopkins Center for the Arts and in the Graphic Arts Workshop run by Roderick Stinehour, founder of the celebrated Stinehour Press. After college I apprenticed with Bruce Campbell in Stonington, Connecticut, learning about the practice of book design from this accomplished designer of art historical and scholarly books.
During my time in the dot-com trenches of fin-de-siècle New York I worked at @radical.media and at iXL as an interface designer and software engineer and, eventually, inevitably, under the ostentatious title of “information architect.” I had a long association with Sotheby's, creating their first ever online auction in 1998 for a sale of antiquarian books, as well as developing an information architecture for their wholesale embrace of online auctions the following year.
Since 2000 I have been developing a freelance practice doing cartography and other information design assignments across a variety of media and for a range of clients. My work ranges from print projects for art institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and scholarly publishers such as Yale University Press, to motion graphics work for documentary films, to geospatially-enabled web applications such as City of Memory, the narrative cartography project conceived by Local Projects.
If you have a project you would like to discuss with me please don't hesitate to send me a message.
