In December 2016 I published a book for digital creatives titled "LAUNCH IT - 300+ things I’ve learned as a Designer, Developer and Creative Director". It covers topics like work ethic, finding inspiration, creative process, skill acquisition, how to get a job, handling clients, agency life, freelance, self-promotion and work life balance.

Since then, the book has made it's way into the hands of designers & developers on 6 continents, in 51 countries and 38 states in the USA. I wanted to create an interactive map that highlighted all of the hardcover, paperback and eBook locations that I am aware of. Locations were gathered from sales data on Shopify, Amazon as well as photos posted to Twitter. I did all of the design and development on the project in my free time outside of freelance projects.
