Illustrated map of Michigan Central innovation district

Editorial map for DBusiness Magazine

I created an illustrated map for DBusiness Magazine to accompany an article about the Michigan Central innovation district. This ambitious project, driven by Ford Motor Co. and Newlab, is revitalizing Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood into a dynamic hub for mobility, technology, and entrepreneurship. By blending restored architectural landmarks with cutting-edge innovation spaces, Michigan Central is positioning Detroit as a global leader in sustainable and connected transportation solutions.

The map highlights the Michigan Central complex, featuring key sites like The Station, Newlab, Bagley Mobility Hub, The Factory, the Advanced Aerial Innovation Region, Roosevelt Park, Southwest Greenway, and Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park. It also highlights Detroit's Transportation Innovation Zone.
