Since January



Here's a quick update on my recent projects:
Mapping World 1: I've been working with several great companies making maps and templates for their clientele. The map above was created for Creative Health Care Management, a company that takes a very holistic look at all the roles required of people in their field. I've been truly enjoying creating these maps in black and white then coloring them in Photoshop.

Mapping World 2: Tipping Point: I'm co-hosting another dilogue among Visual Recording professionals with my friend and fellow mapper Julie Gieske. We're bringing people together to explore how Graphic Facilitation can become a house hold, school wide, every day phenomena. We have our 2nd gathering next month and I'll happily share the maps that are created from those conversations.

Mapping World 3: Heading out this week to work at a Climate Change Cafe for the people at Nike. Should be a good conversation and chance to listen to and support their commitment to sustainability.

Mapping World 4: Moving to San Francisco! Closer in to the action of city life and artistic opportunities in the Bay Area. I'll be curious how my Visual Recording career will shift as a result of this change in environment. More maps to come...
