[what]

I transform complex information into compelling stories adaptable across digital and physical landscapes.

[why]

I believe that novel outcomes are born of novel processes that borrow from disciplines beyond traditional graphic design.

[how]

My process is sometimes playful, often data-driven, largely participatory, and always evolving.
