Infographics
I can create your information graphics: static images for print or web, that provide insight into the meaning of your data, targeted toward the general public.
Analysis & Design
Let me work with you on an interactive design using your data. This is where good ideas get their start before graduating into a larger project such as a dashboard or online reports.
Take a look as some of my past projects. Tell me a little about your project. You can email me at catherine@visualizingeconomics.com or use my contact form.
