Maps & Data

Collecting data is not enough.
You must interpret it, visualize it, and share it to make an impact.

StoryMaps combine the storytelling power of maps with rich narrative and photo and video in a clean user interface for outreach, marketing, and reporting.

All information about organisms, landscapes, and conservation has a spatial component, and maps help us find meaning in that data.

Mapping and data products are designed alongside my GIS firm Blue Water GIS.

Maps & Dashboards

We offer multiple platforms to display map-based information based on your needs.

  • Using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro, we create custom maps with public or private data to suit your needs. Interactive features are near limitless with the ability to embed into other ArcGIS web apps.

  • These are getting rarer and rarer, but we do have the capability to create maps ready for the printer.

  • Search, filter, visualize, graph, and otherwise explore map-centric data.

    • ArcGIS Dashboards

    • ArcGIS Experience Builder

    • Tableau

    The cutting edge of data analysis and sharing lies here.

StoryMaps

  • StoryMaps, an ArcGIS platform, offer modern marketing and communication to the general public when maps and other geospatial elements are critical to the story.

  • A modern, map and data-based approach to the traditional Powerpoint.

  • Many organizations and agencies are not only accepting StoryMaps as a valid format, but are expecting a more engaging way to report findings.

  • Whether for a StoryMap or other outreach, we can provide custom photography services to help tell your story. See portfolio here.

We have been building StoryMaps since they were invented. We have two ESRI StoryMap of the awards, and have designed stories for National Geographic, The Nature Conservancy, and The Wild Bird Trust, among others.
