Esri StoryMap Development
Esri StoryMaps combine interactive maps, narrative text, images, and multimedia into web-based experiences that communicate spatial data to non-technical audiences. They are one of the most effective tools in the Esri platform for getting GIS data in front of decision-makers who do not use desktop GIS software.
The difference between a StoryMap that sits in a folder and one that changes a decision is the quality of the narrative, the design of the interactions, and the strategic framing of the spatial data. We build StoryMaps that make the case, not just the map.
Diana brings deep product expertise from her role as a Senior Product Engineer at Esri. She knows the platform capabilities and limitations better than anyone. Elom brings the strategic framing that ensures every StoryMap speaks to the audience that matters: the people who approve budgets, award grants, and set direction.
