​

In good or bad times, I make maps.

In the Philippines, I was working as a geographer and urban planner

in cities and communities that were hit by disaster or war.

Based in Aotearoa New Zealand,

I am becoming a scholar of Geographic Information Science.

My PhD project is an ethnography of crowdsourcing and mapping

by working on OpenStreetMap.

ABOUT THE MAPS AND TYPE

​

I made the maps using QGIS and Blender.

​

The digital elevation models were from NASA and LINZ.

​

The hypsometric tint was from Natural Earth (naturalearthdata.com).

​

The island and lake shapes were from OpenStreetMap contributors and DIVA GIS.

​

The original relief shading method was from Daniel Huffman (somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com).

​

I made my logo using the Barabara typeface, which was released by the Department of Tourism of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines. The typeface is a homage to the designers of the jeepney (public transport) signs in the Philippines, my home.
