Sep 2024 - Present • 1 yr 8 mos

I’m a cartographer who enjoys turning spatial data into maps that are actually clear, useful, and visually strong. I work with GIS tools like ArcGIS and QGIS to create maps that go beyond just “showing data”. The goal is always to make information easy to understand at a glance. I pay a lot of attention to layout, color choices, and symbology, because bad design can ruin even the best data. My work includes thematic maps, 3D visualizations, and map layouts for reports, presentations, and digital use. I also experiment with tools like Blender to create more detailed and engaging map visuals when needed. I’ve worked on projects involving spatial analysis, data visualization, and map design, and I’m comfortable handling the full process, from raw data to final polished output.

Graphic designer

Amazon • Freelance

May 2021 - Present • 5 yrs

I work with clients across e-commerce, publishing, and branding to create designs that are not just visually appealing but purposeful and conversion-focused. My work includes book layout design, covers, social media creatives, marketing materials, and brand assets. Experienced with Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Blender for advanced visual work, including 3D mapping and creative compositions. I also design book covers and provide complete publishing-ready packages with editable source files, making future updates easy for authors and publishers. At the end of the day, I don’t just “design pages”; I help turn someone’s idea into something they can proudly publish and hold.

Book Designer

IngramSpark • Freelance

Jan 2021 - Present • 5 yrs 4 mos

Since 2021, I’ve been working with platforms like IngramSpark and Amazon KDP, designing interiors that not only look good but actually feel good to read. I pay close attention to the details most people overlook: spacing, typography, and margins, because those are the things that make a book feel professional. I mainly work on journals, workbooks, and full-length books, handling everything from layout to final print-ready files. I also make sure every file meets publishing requirements properly, so there are no surprises or rejections during upload. I use Adobe InDesign for most of my work, and I always provide organized, editable source files so clients can easily update their books later.
