Data + Design
Turning complex datasets into something a person can act on. Two decades of making data legible: dashboards leaders actually use, and a chart type invented because the existing ones were not telling the truth.
The through-line
Clarity is the whole job
My design philosophy is clarity and function: users should navigate and interact with data without effort. I turn complex datasets into actionable insight, using charts, graphs, and custom dashboards to make a trend obvious in a glance. The work is not prettier dashboards. It is clearer, more usable, more scalable ones.
The Leapfrog Chart
A Fortune 10 automotive client needed dealerships to compete with each other. No existing chart type showed movement the way the story needed, so we made one. It became the company's strategic differentiator, and it is the clearest proof of the instinct: when the existing form lies, build a truer one.

How I work
Design systems, real research, shipped
Consistency by design
Comprehensive design systems so usability and consistency hold across every screen and every product.
User-centered, tested
Extensive research and testing so the final product meets and exceeds what the user actually needs.
Multidisciplinary teams
Working with developers, data scientists, and stakeholders to ship, from concept through refinement.
Have a dataset nobody can read?
That is the work. Tell me what decision the data needs to support, and I will show you what to build.
