Greetings, StoryMaps lovers! I’m Ellen Delgado, a Product Manager for ArcGIS StoryMaps at Esri. I work with cross-functional teams to design and deliver tools that make storytelling with maps intuitive, expressive, and impactful. I’m passionate about using geospatial technology to connect cultures, share knowledge, and create solutions that help people understand and improve the world. My background is in environmental engineering and GIS, where I applied spatial analysis, data visualization, and field research to support conservation and environmental initiatives. I enjoy bridging the gap between technical functionality and user experience—combining my GIS expertise with a focus on design and usability to help people communicate ideas clearly and bring spatial stories to life. I always enjoy connecting with the StoryMaps community. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to share ideas, discuss storytelling with maps, or talk about how geospatial technology can support impactful communication.
