As a cartographer for Esri Story Maps, Cooper strive to create geographic visualizations that inform, inspire, and delight. He’s especially interested in exploring maps’ ability to communicate complex issues elegantly. Cartographic design is his chief passion—as evidenced by the ever-growing stacks of thematic atlases scattered around his home—but he’s also an avid photographer, forager of cultural sustenance, and motorcyclist. It’s probably no coincidence that these hobbies can be mapped, too.
