Clear, accurate visuals can help readers better understand complex topics. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with authors to create maps and graphics for published books, translating research into visual illustrations that support the written work.
I collaborated with the author to design a series of world trade route maps illustrating the historical trade networks discussed throughout the book. The maps were created to complement the research while presenting complex geographic information in a clear, engaging format.

I collaborated with the author to create three watershed maps illustrating the river systems and geographic regions featured throughout the book. The maps provide readers with visual context for the history of fly fishing in the Rocky Mountain West.

In March 2024, Dr. Jen Brown presented a lecture at Washington State University Libraries on the history of fly fishing. During the presentation, one of the watershed maps I created for Trout Culture was used to illustrate the geographic context of the discussion. The embedded video starts where the map I created is used. You can read more about the presentation at WSU Friends of the Library page.
