My toolkit includes several software programs, with some more on my wish-list to streamline my process. I learn from other cartographers who share their map-making tips - cartographers are a collaborative bunch!
Maps have always caught my eye but I never thought of making them until I was laid off from an IT job at a large company and realized I didn’t want to do that kind of work anymore – I wanted to do something creative. So I went back to school and fell in love with cartography.
