A cartographer remains in the loop

Directing, not delegating, design.

Prompt cartography treats natural language as a design medium. I define the argument, assemble and evaluate the data, direct the visual system and interaction, then critique and revise the result. The model accelerates production; authorship lives in the choices.

Reusable cartographic systems

Map design, made reusable.

I build structured map-style schemas that translate visual judgment—palette, typography, hierarchy, labeling, interaction, and tone—into specifications that can be applied, tested, and remixed across different maps.
