It all started with MSPaint.
I have always been interested in making maps and worldbuilding and asking what if questions, but I had been doing it on my own until I came across the alternate history community online. And it was there that I learned to make digital maps.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I’ve taken that to heart in my worldbuilding, creating hundreds if not thousands of maps, flags, and other graphics across many different projects to help create the story of an alternate world. And though I started with only MSPaint, I quickly graduated to more powerful programs, allowing me to create better looking maps and taking commissions from others, even professional programs like QGIS. I love learning new things and new ways I can use these programs, even in ways they may not have been originally designed for, allowing for more creative freedom. And I’m looking forward to doing more with that in the future.
