A case study on Maryland's Eastern Shore
A critical component of the RESPIRAR Project is its focused research on Maryland's Eastern Shore. To support this work, I produced maps that contextualize the geographic location for a broader audience.
These maps were customized based on their intended use, whether for the web or as part of slide decks presented at various conferences.

Tools used:

Before and after digital maps
A “before and after” comparison of one map of the Eastern Shore illustrates the transformation from the initial draft to a polished, professional-quality visual. The map was designed to complement the web copy.
