I design static visual aids to communicate insights and information through data. At the core of all my work, I focus on the end-user to alleviate their pains and create gains.

To me, they are opportunities to improve on design.

It’s not a newsletter meant for clients, it’s meant for people who want to learn more about what it’s like to be an independent data visualization designer.
