I’ve loved making maps for as long as I can remember, first of imaginary continents and coastlines, and later of the real trails, valleys, and mountains around me.

My curiosity about the natural world grew into a desire to document it, blending exploration with art. At fifteen, I began teaching myself GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and opened an Etsy shop to sell my original map drawings. A year later, I hiked 2,600 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada—an experience that changed how I see and interpret landscapes.

I went on to earn a B.S. in Physical Geography and Earth Sciences from Montana State University, where I deepened my understanding of terrain through fieldwork and research with the Geospatial Snow, Ice, and Water Lab. An internship that became a three-year position as a Cartographic Technician in Grand Teton National Park brought me to Jackson, Wyoming, where I combined science, art, and alpine fieldwork to create maps for the National Park Service.

Today, I create maps full-time,both for myself and for freelance clients. I continue to evolve as an artist, scientist, and cartographer, always striving to capture the beauty, complexity, and emotion of the landscapes that inspire me. I’m excited to see where my next map will take me.
