Portfolio

I adapt evaluation reports and research for the web. Think of it like adapting a novel into a movie, except for me it’s usually about turning PDFs into websites. Here are some of my recent projects with examples you can scroll.

Just a simple end-of-project evaluation web report

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation – Oral Health Portfolio Evaluation

This web report was developed in collaboration with the team at Intention 2 Impact. The goal was to create a simple end of project evaluation web report. The final product is four pages featuring qualitative data quotes, a few simple charts, and some light interactivity. Expand to read more boxes and internal page links were used to reduce density and make the pages easier to explore.

Narrative style data dashboard

NOLA C.A.R.E.S. Metrics

This web dashboard was developed in collaboration with the team at Ampersand. This data dashboard was a part of multi-year project that included three web-based annual reports and a narrative style dashboard that would get updated over time. The format used a single column to share individual graphs, and a two column block to allow for narrative updates. Like many evaluation dashboards the data only updates periodically, so using a mainstream data dashboard tool would be technical overkill and create more usability challenges than would be worthwhile.

Adapting a strategic plan and theory of change

UNICEF Strategic Plan 2026–2029 [Concept]

This is not a product developed for a client, instead it was a concept developed to share my adaptation process. You can see the before and after blog post by clicking on this link. Strategic plans and theories of change can be really important documents. They are also often products of working sessions and don’t always get adapted for the web before sharing. For this concept I took a 22 page strategic plan written at a grade 18 level and turned it into an accessible one page website.

You can see the final result by following this link.

One part report, one part resource library

Tewa Women United – Changing Times Project

This web report was developed in collaboration with the team at Ampersand. The goal was to create a simple evaluation web report. In addition to standard evaluation reporting, the website format allowed us to embed and share other materials related to the project. Where a traditional PDF report would only link to these materials, through a WordPress site, they can live in context. This project also included some custom illustration work and light data visualization.

Simpler doesn’t always mean shorter (layered interactive)

IDEA Data Center – EDFacts Discipline Data

I did the original concept development for this interactive infographic back in 2015 (pre-independent consulting when I still worked at Westat). The team of subject matter experts had some really detailed technical guidance to share. I helped them think through the structure and then developed a layered style that would allow them to share all the technical things, but with less overwhelm. I then worked with the Westat graphics team who brought the concept to life. A decade later and this interactive infographic is still one of the most visited resources on the IDEA Data Center website.

A virtual Community of Practice is not a simple discussion board or forum

CDC Overdose Data to Action Evaluation CoP

Since 2020 I have been leading a program-specific evaluation Community of Practice for the CDC. When people think about building community on the web they often think that means building forums. It doesn’t, at least not most of the time. What it really means is using all the tools we have at our disposal to create connections between people.

For this CoP, we’ve held a lot of webinars, shared blog posts, created YouTube videos, sent email newsletters, and even put out a podcast episode. It has required subject matter expertise, facilitation, presentation design, custom illustration, video development, digital evaluation, audio editing, and web design. In order to get all of that expertise you usually need to hire a full team of creatives and subject matter experts. Or, you just can hire me.
