I’m a GIS student and cartographer based in Sri Lanka, specializing in clear, visually strong, and accurate map design. I work with ArcGIS Pro and QGIS to create thematic maps, spatial analyses, and geospatial visualizations for academic, research, and professional use. I also bring a graphic design background, which means my maps are not just correct, but well-composed and easy to understand. I’ve worked on projects involving spatial databases, 3D terrain visualization, environmental and thematic mapping, and GIS-based storytelling. I pay close attention to data accuracy, cartographic principles, and visual hierarchy. If you need maps that are clean, readable, and technically sound, I can help.…

    paper Thematic & Spatial Analysis Map Design Using GIS

    This project involved designing thematic and analytical maps using GIS tools to visualize spatial patterns and relationships in geographic data.

    I worked with vector and raster datasets, performed data cleaning and basic spatial analysis, and designed final map layouts following core cartographic principles such as visual hierarchy, balance, and readability.

    The final outputs were created for academic and demonstration purposes, with a focus on accuracy, clear symbology, and effective communication of spatial information.
