About
I’m a designer, cartographer, and design educator, based in Washington, D.C. I create projects—maps, images, interactive systems, and in-person events—that help us imagine places, past and future. My research looks at landscape change around the Chesapeake Bay region, and especially at the history of the District’s streams and shorelines.
I hold an MFA in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, and a BA in English from Williams College, and I am currently working toward a Masters in Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland.
I taught graphic design and data visualization at the Corcoran College of Art + Design and at American University, and I helped run Knowledge Commons DC.
