For mining, oil, gas and energy companies
Designing since 2014 · 500+ geological figures drawn · GIS-ready files
Design That Matters turns geological information, sketches and technical source material into accurate, publication-quality maps and figures. Danica Molyneux drafts and digitises geological maps, cross sections, stratigraphic columns and diagrams for mining, oil, gas and energy companies, working from the information your team supplies.

A real project for one client, shown with the client's details removed. Seven stages take the original source material to a finished digital geological map.
The topographic base the geological map is built on.
The base map prepared for the geological detail.
The geological interpretation, sketched and annotated by hand.
Wells and reference points, positioned on the map.
The blocks, boundaries and technical details that make the map usable.
Colour and shading that separate the geological units clearly.
The finished digital vector map, ready for reports, presentations and GIS.
Geological maps often start as a mix of base maps, field sketches, data and handwritten notes. We draft and digitise that material into one clear, accurate map, with consistent symbols, colours and labels.
The same applies to topographic map design, palaeogeography maps, 3D geological maps and edits to existing maps. Your geologists supply the information; we make sure it reads clearly to geoscientists and to readers with no technical background.
Cross sections, well correlation panels and stratigraphic columns carry a lot of detail in a small space. We draft them so the structure, the units and the correlations can be read at a glance, in print and on screen.
Diagram design, charts and 3D geological figures for reports, presentations and publications, drawn in the same style as your maps so every figure in a document matches.
No. We work from the geological information your team supplies. Our role is drafting, digitisation and presentation, so the finished map shows your interpretation accurately and clearly.
The source material you have: base maps, sketches, data, annotations, and any style or report requirements. Then we can quote.
A print-ready PDF, high-resolution images, editable vector files, and SHP or TAB files where your team needs the map in ArcGIS or MapInfo.
Yes. Files can be sized for ASX or journal submission, and we also design the annual reports those figures appear in.
Every project is quoted individually. Send the number of maps and figures, the source material and your deadline, and we will reply with a quote.
We never name clients or projects on our website. The case study above is shown with the client's details removed.
Yes. We are based in Perth, WA, and work remotely with companies across Australia and internationally.
