Infographics

My favorite thing about infographics is the story they will tell. Stats, factoids, and graphs exist for nearly every aspect of living so building an infographic seems easy. It’s not. Culling information is essential despite how it may appear. It’s not cheating or manipulative. The facts need to be relevant to the subject of the story without overwhelming the reader.

I worked closely with art directors, producers, writers and editors to create infographics for regional and national television audiences. I partnered with senior leadership from higher education institutions and non profit organizations for data visualization design. With all this intellectual firepower the story never strayed beyond its theme. And the reader was better informed.
