Transforming Complex Data into Clear, Compelling Maps
Data is only as powerful as your ability to communicate it. We specialize in the art and science of cartography and data visualization, turning spreadsheets, databases, and complex analyses into intuitive and insightful visual stories. From public-facing interactive web maps to detailed analytical graphics for a strategic report, we create products that inform, persuade, and inspire action.
Data is Only as Good as Your Ability to Understand It
Raw data, tables, and dense reports can be overwhelming and difficult for stakeholders, the public, or grant reviewers to interpret. A poorly designed map can confuse more than it clarifies, leading to miscommunication and flawed decisions. The real challenge is to present the right information in the right way, creating a clear visual narrative that everyone can understand at a glance.
From a Simple Map to an Interactive Story
Thematic & Planning Maps
We produce high-quality, professional maps essential for municipal planning and public communication, including zoning maps, land use plans, utility network maps, and exhibits for public hearings.
Interactive Web Maps & Applications
We move beyond static maps to create dynamic, user-friendly web applications. We can develop tools like the “Montgomery County Near Me” map, allowing residents to interact with data and find information relevant to their specific location.
Data Visualization & Infographics
We can transform complex datasets into clear charts, graphs, and dashboards for inclusion in strategic plans, annual reports, or economic impact studies, making your findings more accessible and impactful.
ArcGIS StoryMaps
We are experts in creating narrative-driven, multimedia experiences using ArcGIS StoryMaps. This is the perfect tool for non-profits, historical societies, and tourism agencies to tell their story, as demonstrated in our award-winning community projects like the Mt. Olive Cemetery Veteran Tour.
Maps and Graphics You Can Trust
As a university-based center, our cartographic products carry a unique weight. Our commitment to scientific accuracy and clear communication ensures that every map we produce is both visually compelling and analytically sound. This academic credibility is invaluable when presenting data in public forums, to elected officials, or in competitive grant applications. Furthermore, our talented student workers bring fresh, creative perspectives to data storytelling, resulting in engaging and innovative products.
