Transit Maps and Wayfinding
I've always been fascinated by maps and wayfinding in transit stations, and for this project I leaned into that. This is an ongoing project; check back sometime, there will probably be something new!
Golden Gate Transit strip maps
As someone who thinks of themselves as pretty transit-competent, even I found navigating Golden Gate Transit's bus network confusing. This inspired me to try to make sense of the network. Golden Gate Transit has a highly parallel network with most buses running along Highway 101, making strip maps a great tool for showing service patterns.

San Francisco Rail Transit
Inspired by Massimo Vignelli's diagrammatic masterpiece of the New York City Subway, I made this diagrammatic map of all rail transit in San Francisco. Included is Muni's LRT "Metro" system, the Historic Streetcar, the cable cars, BART and Caltrain.
