John is a cartographer and User Experience designer in glorious Michigan. He works with Esri, promoting geographic content and quality through cartography, videos, writing, occasional keynotes, and other shenanigans. Some of his work has been featured in National Geographic Magazine, FastCompany, and the Guardian, and has landed (briefly but gloriously) on the front page of Reddit a few times. John speaks at mapping and technology conferences, presenting enthusiastically on topics including data visualization, cartography, UX, and social media.
Specialties: User Experience, Friendly Personality, Spatial Analysis, Data Visualization, Information Architecture, Communications & Teaching.
