🌎I’m actively seeking full-time roles as a #Cartographer (on-site / remote). With rich experience in cartography & GIS, my work has been widely recognized with 70+ achievements. If your team’s hiring or you know openings, I’d truly appreciate any referrals or shares! #OpenToWork
After several recent displays, my #LEGOmaps are on the road again! Next stop: Milwaukee for #NACIS2026. Almost my entire collection of physical #LEGO builds and digital designs will be displayed in the Map Gallery. Looking forward to a week full of maps and #cartography! 🗺️🧱

Thank you for sharing my map!! This may not be a super polished work, as it was my first attempt at this particular LEGO mapping style, which has since become my favorite type! I’m so glad to see it appreciated, which gives me more motivation to keep creating! 😊
What happens when cartography meets creativity? 🗺️
This Arizona map reimagines the state's terrain with a unique tile based design to reveal the state's terrain in a whole new way. A must-see for map lovers and LEGO fans alike! bit.ly/4x3dzRE

A belated post from #BrickBlast ! I had a wonderful time sharing my #LEGOmaps with #BayArea #LEGO enthusiasts at the Santa Clara Convention Center on August 22, with a newly built #California map. Also glad to get connected with BayLUG (Bay Area’s LEGO User Group), too! 😊

Glad to present "#LEGO #Cartography: From Practice to Framework" at @cartographyGIS #CaGIS 2026! Drawing on my physical builds, digital maps, and public outreach events, this poster proposes a preliminary framework. I'd love to exchange ideas, especially on #GeographyEducation!
A full collection of my #LEGO topographic and thematic maps, with 16 physical builds and 30 printed works, displayed with WisLUG at @danecountyfair Kids Day. Physical maps are arranged by scale, from global to national, regional, and local (left to right).

I just attended the @bcsmaps Teatime Talk. Many thanks to Paul and Clare for the great presentation. I was so honored that my U.S. footprint map was featured as an example of good cartographic design, with some observations that even surprised me. I hope it inspires others too!✨
Following @EsriUC through virtual sessions and Map Gallery has been inspiring! Grateful that my work was featured in Virtual Map Gallery Tour, Mappy Hour, and the Plenary, plus published in @Esri Map Book and named an Innovative Category finalist. Enjoy the rest of #EsriUC2026!

Although I can't attend #EsriUC2026 in person, I'm excited to have 7 maps in the @EsriUC Virtual Map Gallery, covering cycling, natural hazards, power outages, climate, mobility, parks, and history. Honored that my power outage map was featured in the Plenary by Jack Dangermond.
#2026FIFAWorldCup has reached the semi-finals! I gave my #LEGO North America map a #WorldCup makeover with 16 host cities (stars colored by country), #FIFA logo, #WorldCupTrophy, and a soccer field-style legend, while preserving its elevation data. (Photo at #BrickworldChicago)

As #Typhoon #Bavi affects China, I updated my Active Tropical Cyclone Tracker. Thanks to @Esri @ArcGISOnline #LivingAtlas, observed and forecast tracks are available globally. Wind speed is visualized using proportional diamonds instead of circles to avoid confusion with extent.

For this #July4th #IndependenceDay of #USA250 #America250 anniversary, I created two #LEGO style maps of the contiguous #UnitedStates: one showing topography, the other tracing territorial acquisitions. Each unit represents 50 × 50 miles. ❤️🤍💙 #LEGOMap #Cartography

Amazing experience presenting my #LegoMaps at #BrickworldChicago! Beyond the Public Expo, I attended many sessions, gave my own presentation, and met many talented #MOC #LEGO artists and designers! Honored to receive a Gugick and the "Bricklerrific" award at my first #Brickworld!

There can never be too many #NaturalHazards maps. The recent #Venezuela #earthquake prompted me to quickly put together a web map of global active #earthquakes. The data is directly from @ArcGISOnline, and I only redesigned the symbology. uw-mad.maps.arcgis.com/apps/…
