The majority of my experience over the last two decades has been preparing and editing figures and maps...lots of figures and maps. Through the utilization of templates and branding standards, I have been able to quickly provide working maps and draft report figures for a number of different project teams, every week. I would like to bring my creativity, experience, and skills out of the private sector and back to the non-profit world.
Pairing visuaization and the power of GIS, I created analysis workflow to identify all buildings that would be inundated based on different dam failure flood inundation, how deep the floodwaters would be at each building, and then applied ACE and FEMA insurance formulas to each building type to estimate economic impact of different dam failure scenarios. But it has to look good to tell a story.
Working with shadows and DEMs to create report covers for watershed project areas.
Turning old topo maps into something new with shadowing, hillshades, and modern cartographic magic.
Topographic detail can be lost without graphic design. I devised a strategy to estimate the total water storage capacity for an entire watershed, which included creating more accurate pond and reservoir storage capacity beyond NHD ponds, and then presented this analysis with easy to explain and digest imagery for presentations to the client.
Sometimes a two-dimensional image just doesn't tell the story you want. Working in ArcGIS Pro scenes I have created 3D images to help illustrate complex water right and drainage analysis.
