CREATIVE FORCE, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Creative Force, Inc., founded in 1988, has established a pioneering presence in the digital custom mapmaking industry. The company was born from Jolan Falk’s innovative creation of the first geo-referenced world map for retail mass-market on a Macintosh computer, which she initially developed using Adobe Illustrator™ with its single-layer capability at the time. Training corporate Apple and Adobe sales managers in her techniques allowed Creative Force to promote their method across publishing, media, and art sectors. Key endorsements from industry leaders such as The New York Times, ABC News, and National Geographic solidified the company's early reputation. Celebrated accomplishments include creating the official map used for post-9/11 navigation of New Yorkers returning to the Financial District to reopen the Stock Market. Another ongoing source of pride comes from the company’s influential presence within the Apple and tech industries. The internal culture, heavily shaped by Dwight who joined in 2015 for two decades, emphasizes GIS expertise, innovative map design, and digital shaded relief. Creative Force has evolved over time also changing its visual identity; inspired by a ship's figurehead acquired in 2000 now named 'Hannah,' which signifies their unique approach to creativity. This is evident both in their logo evolution and their commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions with 125% customer satisfaction guarantees. The company focuses on one-to-one client engagement, producing dynamic maps using advanced technology primarily through Adobe Illustrator™ or PDF formats. These custom maps are available for digital use or as printed wall murals.
