About Me
Shannon Gonzales, GISP
I have always had a deep love of geography, maps & cartography! Since I've been old enough to hold a book, I have loved looking at maps. Maps combine artistry and science in a way that, for me, feels simply brilliant. I worked as a GIS Analyst for over 13 years in the environmental consulting industry before moving to Esri in 2020 as a Product Engineer on the map authoring team. I continue to be absolutely inspired by various artists, cartographers and geospatial professionals in the industry and the incredible knowledge, talent and artistry they possess.
As I’ve traveled down the path of maps and cartography, I have been blown away by how helpful the incredible global cartographic community is, and how willing they are to share techniques, tips, tricks and even just geo geek-out. (When you find yourself submerged in waves of map & geography puns, you know you’re on the right path!)
As I continue to grow my own personal portfolio of maps, I will be posting them here, along with any thoughts or ideas about cartography.
