I began making infographic in 2000 when I joined the Graphics Department at Condé Nast Traveler magazine. Under the expert guidance of John Grimwade, I honed my skills in making detailed maps and diagrams over thirteen enriching years.
In 2013, I launched my own studio, specializing in infographics, icons, 3D renderings, and maps for a diverse clientele, including National Geographic, Apple, Sony, ProPublica, and VICE. My work also features regularly in Lapham’s Quarterly and Travelzoo, and I frequently collaborate with Jim McManus at Complex Stories.
I often partner with other studios and art departments on large-scale projects. One of my most notable collaborations was with National Geographic Magazine, where I worked closely with their editorial, research, and art departments to produce an award-winning 8-page gatefold graphic of the New York City skyline, an interactive version of which can be viewed here.
