Hire Me

I love to create intuitive data presentations of financial and economic data and I am passionate about working with people to understand their needs. In 2009, I started a consulting company, Mulbrandon, Research, Design & Insights with Matthew Mulbrandon, a geographer with extensive experience creating maps, working with Census data, SAS programming, statistics & data cleaning.

Together we combine expertise in economic and government data, experience with computer mapping and information design. Let us help you collect data and weave together maps, graphs, and text to tell a clear and persuasive story.

About Me

I am a native of Washington DC. In 1993, I graduated with an AB in Economics from the University of Chicago. During the next eight years, I worked for a financial consulting firm where I mastered Excel and learned about the financial markets.

In 2004, I completed the 2 year Master’s program in Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon, where I explored information and interaction design in both print and digital pieces. In my Master’s thesis, I created a series of posters presenting data about the United States’ economy. From this project Visualizing Economics.com was born.

I am based in New York, and have 5+ years of experience in interaction/information design working with multidisciplinary teams.
