Making your existing data useful, understandable, and shareable

Many organizations already collect excellent data — but turning it into insight, decisions, and clear communication is often the hard part.

I work with organizations, NGOs, and research groups to unlock the value of the data they already have, through thoughtful analysis, clear cartography, and custom tools that your team can run independently.

My focus is on clarity, longevity, and impact - not one-off analyses that disappear when the project ends.

Spatial Analysis & Insight

I help you move from “we have data” to “we understand what it’s telling us.”

  • GIS analysis using ArcGIS and QGIS

  • Custom Python workflows for repeatable analysis

  • Spatial summaries designed for decision-making, not just technical output

  • Support for messy, incomplete, or inconsistent datasets (the norm, not the exception)

This work is especially useful when:

  • You need to answer specific questions with existing data

  • Multiple datasets don’t quite line up

  • Results need to be defensible and explainable to non-technical audiences

Custom Tools & Reusable Workflows

I don’t just write scripts for my own use — I build full-featured, reusable tools that your team can run on their own schedule.

  • Custom Python tools and plugins for ArcGIS or QGIS

  • Clear inputs, outputs, and documentation

  • Designed for non-programmers to run safely and repeatably

  • No dependency on me for day-to-day use or future updates

You get:

  • Transparency into how results are produced

  • The ability to rerun analyses as new data arrives

  • Freedom from being locked into a single consultant

The goal is for your team to be able to rerun analyses, explore scenarios, and update results without relying on external support.

Cartography, Visualization & Storytelling

Analysis only matters if people can understand it.

I design maps and visualizations that help people understand spatial patterns and results quickly, without needing a GIS background.

  • Static maps for reports and print

  • Animated maps for presentations and outreach

  • Web maps and dashboards for interactive exploration

  • Visual design that emphasizes clarity over decoration

Every map is fully custom — designed around your message, not a template.

Data Wrangling & Integration

Most projects begin with data that is incomplete, inconsistent, or spread across multiple sources. Making that data usable is a critical — and often intimidating — step.

I specialize in structuring, cleaning, and integrating spatial data so it can actually be analyzed and communicated.

  • Combining datasets with different formats, schemas, and coordinate systems

  • Cleaning geometry and attributes

  • Resolving mismatches between spatial and tabular data

  • Preparing datasets for long-term use and future updates

This work forms the foundation for everything that follows, whether the end result is analysis, mapping, or a reusable tool.

How I work

  • Flexible support: volunteer, contract, or hybrid

  • Tool-agnostic: ArcGIS, QGIS, and open-source workflows

  • Collaborative and transparent

  • Focused on building things your organization can keep using

If you have data that feels underused, under-explained, or hard to share — that’s often the best place to start a conversation.
