My professional evolution reflects a natural progression from traditional editorial work to data-driven visual communication. At the beginning of my career I worked on numbers-heavy editorial projects like mutual fund rankings and tax guides. It was clear to me then that data lent weight and force to narratives, but I hadn’t yet fully embraced visualization as my core focus.
My journey from words to visuals has been in service of finding more powerful, accessible ways of communicating information.
In 2008 I founded Synoptical Charts, a solo consultancy that enabled me to develop my data visualization skills while working with publications and private clients. Two Visual.ly Staff Pick awards in 2013 validated this new direction, as did the steady stream of projects from my expanding clientele.
Later, my roles at NerdWallet, Health Monitoring Systems, GoodRx, and Forbes Advisor expanded my dataviz toolkit while deepening my subject matter expertise. At NerdWallet, as the content team’s semi-official visualization expert, I took delight in supporting colleagues as they analyzed their data and learned online viz tools.
I believe my two-pronged education has equipped me for this work. My literature degree deepened my storytelling instincts, while my master’s in information science provided the technical foundation for data interpretation. This combination enables me to see patterns and narratives where other people might only see numbers.
