Things you should know about me.
- Having spent the first decade of my career as a researcher and evaluator, I know way more about the data world than most graphic and web designers.
- I draw evaluation comics, blog, self-publish books, and teach an online design workshop for researchers and evaluators. But my true day job is as an independent graphic, web, and data designer.
- As an independent business person I only have so much time. So I choose my clients carefully. I also need to believe in your work before I will take on your project.
If you can design one thing, you can design everything.

Design Philosophy.
I practice human centered and user experience design. Every good design has a purpose and an intended audience. We should always attempt to view our work through the eyes of our intended audience.
Examples of my work.
Chart Design
I have nothing against Excel. But sometimes you want something a little bit more polished. By leveraging data journalism tools like Flourish or Datawrapper and graphic design tools like Figma or Illustrator we can take your charts to a whole new level.
Micrographic Design
Micrographics are the most underrated of all data communications tools. These small infographics can be shared easily alongside social media posts, as blog post featured images, inside presentations, and as illustrations in longer reports.
Infographic Design
Infographics are posters with data. They can be all sorts of different sizes, printable, scroll-able, and interactive depending on your needs. Infographics are connection tools, perfect for tailoring your reporting to the meet the needs of specific audiences.
Web Design
I design WordPress websites and digital courses. Whether you want to create a resource site, an online toolkit, a digital installation, a modern interactive report, a self-paced online course, or simply update your business website, I can help.
