We exist to make data insightful and actionable. Dashboards, analysis tools, navigable interfaces — all grounded in real insight, never decoration.
We build interfaces that let researchers, journalists, executives, and citizens actually use the data — not just look at it. Make their data insightful and actionable.
Internal dashboards, public exploration tools, analyst interfaces, decision-support systems — anywhere navigation through data is the product itself.
We work in your stack or ours. We've got depth, and we've got breadth. We love tackling big, thorny and complicated projects.
| Layer | Tools we work in | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Front-end | React · Svelte · Vue · vanilla JS | Framework-agnostic. We pick to match your team. |
| Visualization | D3 · Observable Plot · MapLibre · deck.gl · Three.js | WebGL when the data demands it; SVG when print-publish matters. |
| Geo | MapLibre · Mapbox GL · Leaflet · MapTiler · custom WebGL | Vector tiles by default. Raster fallbacks for legacy. |
| Data pipeline | Python · DuckDB · BigQuery · Postgres + PostGIS · Snowflake | Whatever your data lives in, we can plumb it. |
| Infra | AWS · GCP · Cloudflare · Vercel · self-hosted | We've shipped on all of these. Tile servers and CDN included. |
A navigable structure for your data. Not "a dashboard" — a way of seeing.
Power features for power users, sensible defaults for everyone else.
Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, color-blind palettes — built in, not bolted on.
Real numbers. Sub-200ms interactions, < 2s first-meaningful-paint, even at scale.
Interview your users. Understand the actual decisions the tool needs to support.
Sketch the information architecture. Iterate on low-fi before pixel-pushing.
Visual + interaction design. Tested with your users at each loop.
Engineer with your team or solo. Production deploys, observability baked in.
Ship, observe, refine. Optional maintenance contract after launch.
California county-level health outcomes, navigable for researchers, journalists, and policymakers.
Case study
A live climate-data dashboard powering daily news content for partner outlets.
Case study
UX work supporting the AWS Location Service product — making spatial APIs approachable for non-GIS developers.
Case studyAlways. We've extended design systems for Google, Tableau, the Washington Post, and dozens more. Your brand, our craft.
We can plumb most of them. Snowflake, BigQuery, PostgreSQL+PostGIS, DuckDB, S3 parquet, weird internal APIs — we've shipped on all of them.
Yes — built in, not bolted on. Keyboard nav, screen-reader labels, color-blind palettes, motion preferences. We meet WCAG AA by default and AAA on request.
Yes, as a separate contract. Most clients take 6–12 month maintenance after launch.
