Tim Wallace Cartographer
Tim Wallace is a modern-day cartographer. In other words, he spends his days creating maps. To prepare for that career, Wallace earned a PhD in geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While earning his degree, Wallace worked at The New York Times, where he created thousands of maps on a wide variety of topics. These included the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall in Houston in 2017; the territory controlled by terrorist group ISIS; and the results of elections. He recently started a new job as geographer and visual journalist at Descartes Labs, a company that collects data from different sources to help people and businesses better understand the planet.
