About Nordpil

Nordpil - custom map design and cartography, charts, maps and other visual communication and GIS

Nordpil was founded by Hugo Ahlenius in November 2008 to explore freelancing and consulting within the fields of geography and visual communication. Experiences, skills and portfolio have been acquired through a previous position at an office of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in Norway - UNEP/GRID-Arendal, and through studies at Uppsala University, Sweden and the University of Washington, USA.

Nordpil means north arrow in Sweden, the map detail used to display the north direction in maps. In older maps this is often incorporated in a compass rose.
