About

View Ed Merritt's profile on LinkedIn

Hello, my name is Ed. I'm a self-employed cartographer, based in Southampton (UK), and have been working under the Merritt Cartographic banner since 2006. I'm a graduate of Oxford Brookes University, receiving an honours degree in Mapping and Cartography. Having previously worked for a large publishing company in central London, much of my work is commissioned for inclusion in reference books and atlases. As a freelance cartographer, I've been fortunate enough to produce maps and graphics for a number of book publishers, including Dorling Kindersley, Longman, Millennium House, Toucan Books and Weldon Owen.

I enjoy being creative in my work and like to explore new approaches. As a map-maker, I have a natural tendency to pay attention to detail and also to work hard to ensure that I'm being as accurate as I can in the work that I produce. In addition to the book publishers mentioned previously, I have also undertaken work for CycleCity Guides and the Royal Horticultural Society. For these clients, I have produced maps for inclusion in guidebooks and, in the case of the latter, for use on signs and other navigational displays.

For a more detailed résumé of my work or for more information in general, please feel free to make contact using the information displayed above and throughout the site. I look forward to hearing from you.
