Bellerby and Co. - Artisan Globemakers
I was responsible for all maps, printing, and bespoke orders. I handled extensive, complicated files with 70,000+ paths, 3000+ text objects. This role required a meticulous attention to detail and daily research of geographical and political changes to keep the map up to date, as well as historical research for one-off projects and historical travel routes. It was essential to communicate between departments effectively for the smooth running of a small studio like Bellerby.
