Oliver Uberti is a visual journalist and designer who dabbles in maps, infographics, and words. On a given day, he may be found painting with crushed insects, charting man’s migration from Africa, drawing Stonehenge, or directing photo shoots of the rocks that power your iPhone.

In 2010, he designed Washington, DC's Museum of Unnatural History—the storefront for 826DC, the eighth chapter in a national network of nonprofit creative writing centers. His latest creation? A facelift of National Geographic that debuted in the June 2011 issue. Whatever the task, his process begins with paper and a big, fat Sharpie. Learn how your creative process can find the same flow and openness.
