Cartographic Work

Within a few weeks of watching the demolition of the St. Denis Hotel building outside my apartment window during lockdown, I started to wonder why it wasn't historically preserved, and how they were permitted to demolish a building during COVID lockdown. From this, a modest interest quickly snowballed into a new passion in urban planning and land use. I spent and continue to spend free time self-teaching GIS and mapping software, along with absorbing local zoning practices and community needs. This page shows a handful of my projects, in various stages, all using a variety of GIS and mapping software. All projects use OpenData (ESRI, USGS, etc. sources available).
