During his 27-year career at the National Geographic Society, Allen Carroll designed scores of maps for its renowned magazine and other publications. Beginning his NGS career on the staff of the magazine’s art department, he became its art director, designing diagrams, infographics, and historical reconstructions. As the Society’s chief cartographer from 1998 to 2010, he was deeply involved in the creation of the Society’s renowned reference and wall maps, globes, and atlases, and oversaw creation of scores of page maps and large-format supplement maps for the magazine. He led the creation of the Seventh and Eighth editions of the World Atlas, incorporating satellite imagery and innovative thematic maps into the editions and integrating them for the first time with interactive Web resources. He spearheaded the publication of many new web resources and other special projects featuring biodiversity, conservation, and indigenous cultures.
After joining Esri in 2010, he founded its StoryMaps team, which developed web tools that enabled hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations to tell place-based stories combining interactive maps and multimedia content. He continues to lead an editorial team that publishes ArcGIS StoryMaps and supports a global community of storytellers who have used StoryMaps to create millions of multimedia narratives.
