View the project live at https://stateofwork.dropbox.com/ Dropbox came to Stamen with an idea: that work has become too complicated. Much of the new technology that is supposed to make work more efficient has actually made us less productive. Dropbox wanted to explore this idea — using publicly available data and an editorialized approach — to answer a key question...
We at Stamen have had the pleasure of working with the World Health Organization’s Department of Immunization, Vaccines, and Biologicals going back to 2015.

Sure, your drone can take videos and photos from above, but while you’re taking those photos why not turn them into something mappy? OpenDroneMap is an open source toolkit that can help you do that. It takes aerial imagery such as that created with your drone and turns it into several other types of data,...
The birds you expect to see in your favorite National Park may be radically changing soon due to climate change. It’s been a joy and an honor to help the @audubonsociety with the visualizations in this new landmark study called “The Future of Birds in our National Parks,” which launched yesterday. There are three main...
We keep finding ourselves here. Last time I published an article I spoke about how I went about creating a 3D cut map for Matson’s office in Oakland with Stamen.
