ABOUT ME
Welcome to Alpine Atlas!
This is where the art of mapping meets the spirit of the mountains. ❤︎
I’m Lauren, a cartographer and GIS professional based in Southwest Colorado, blending precision, design, and adventure to create maps that inspire.
My Journey
It all began with a love for the outdoors and a fascination with the ways landscapes are visualized through cartography.
After earning my B.S. in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma, I dove into GIS, eventually landing my current role as a GIS Administrator in a small Colorado ski town - where maps are essential for everything from trail navigation to fire mitigation planning.
I’ve always had a deep connection to the outdoors, shaped by a childhood spent hiking, backpacking, and exploring the wild landscapes of Colorado.
Growing up surrounded by towering peaks and winding trails instilled in me a love for adventure and a reverence for the natural world - both of which continue to inspire my work as a cartographer.
Alpine Atlas is my personal cartography studio, where I craft detailed and beautiful maps - from custom wall prints to trail wayfinding designs.
I specialize in modern, minimalized aesthetics, mountain town mapping, and purpose-built visuals that help people connect with places in meaningful ways.
