Data with a heartbeat

All of the data we work with -- all of the data that we visualize -- is about people. We never lose sight of the humanity within the numbers.

When done right, good data visualiztion can make difficult concepts easy to understand. It also depicts people accurately.

That's why it is important to be precise. We know how to structure your story using data. And we build beautiful and intuitive data visualizations.

Here are a few examples of data visualizations that we've produced recently:

Keeping data up to date

We love data visualizations that change from day to day. Projects like that require a lot of moving parts to collect the data, parse and transform it, and serve it to a dashboard or website. Our projects can include ongoing data collection.

What it's like to work with us

We make it easy and fun, channeling your vision into something beautiful and useful.

Our data visualization projects include:

  • Project planning. What outcomes are you looking to achieve? We help you plan backwards.
  • Data exploration. We collect and evaluate all of the data for your visualization, ensuring high quality and accurate presentation.
  • Storyboarding. Our team helps you develop the narrative behind the numbers, and designs the data visualization accordingly.
  • Iterative development. You'll go through multiple cycles of demo, feedback, and iteration during the development of the data visualization. There are no surprises in the end.
  • Quality assurance. We make sure your data visualization is accurate, in case the press comes calling.
