Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMadison Draper is a Technical Cartographer with nine years of experience designing high-impact maps and navigation experiences for enterprise and media clients, currently shaping cartography at Stamen in San Diego. She has driven map UX and wayfinding for Amazon’s last-mile operations, scaling light/dark map variants across 100+ countries and introducing the team’s first map user research program. Her background spans product design, customer-facing support, and internal training at Mapbox, where she built tooling, tutorials, and certifications that enabled thousands of users and hundreds of clients. Madison combines visual design sensibility (Savannah College of Art and Design) and geographic expertise (UC Berkeley) with hands-on technical skills in web cartography, and she routinely translates complex cartographic trade-offs into clear recommendations for non-specialists. An unexpected strength: she pairs emergency-services training and fire-science study with map design, giving her a practical, safety-first perspective on navigation and wayfinding.
