I design interactive data products.
I partner with researchers and developers to communicate complex data to diverse audiences. This work ranges from user research and data analysis to interface design and frontend development. I am especially passionate about technology that advances government services and access to health care.
Medicaid & CHIP Scorecard
Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services
This public transparency website reports important data about the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance (CHIP) programs. I collaborated with a cross-functional team of designers, developers, and researchers to deliver user experience designs, data visualization concepts, and high-fidelity prototypes depicting a range of interaction patterns across 50+ performance measures.
Health Systems Explorer
Agency for Healthcare Research Quality
This dashboard visualizes networks of health care providers in the United States alongside their excess readmission rates for six clinical metrics. I pitched the initial concepts, charts, and prototypes through an iterative process with researchers and subject matter experts. I also implemented aspects of the design as member of the development team.
Rural Health Potentially Avoidable Utilization
Mathematica Policy Research
Rural hospitals provide a lifeline for remote communities in the United States. Advised by experts at Mathematica, I designed interactions for a map-based application that visualizes unplanned, preventable hospital service expenditures in these locations. I also contributed to the project as a frontend developer.
Opioid State Targeted Response Grant Program
Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration
In response to the opioid crisis, the federal government issues grants to support evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery support services in local communities. I partnered with a health economist to analyze data, determine stories, and craft visualizations for a series of infographic briefs publicizing the impact of this program.
Demographic Disparities in Stroke Care
Washington University School of Medicine
Our lab observed that substantial variation in access to certified stroke treatment centers disproportionately affects rural, elderly, American Indian, and uninsured groups of people. I created a series of programs for visualizing graph networks, crunching demographic data, simulating clinical populations, and reproducing analyses for more than 80,000 census tracts.
Plans, Actions, and Capacity to Sustain Tobacco Control
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
I joined a team of scientists working to validate a framework for long-term, sustainable public health programming at the state level. I facilitated focus groups with experts from the CDC and traveled the country to deliver in-person workshops with local tobacco control coalitions. In addition to data analysis, I owned the design of training materials and data visualizations.
St. Louis, Divided
Fourth City STL
Did you know that St. Louis is one of only three independent cities in the United States? As a result, regional politics are expressed in two distinct governments: the City and the County. This brief story visualizes a few of the demographic disparities existing along these lines.
Threat Bias
Washington University in St. Louis
While working at Washington University in St. Louis, I developed a novel use case that applied survival analysis, a biostatistical method, to a cultural transmission problem in evolutionary psychology. I conducted survey experiments, programmed analyses, visualized results, and explained our rationale in a published manuscript.
Virtual Reality Particle Flow Models
Brown University Center for Computation & Visualization
In recent years, paleontologists have developed methods of reconstructing dinosaur anatomy from ancient footprints. This is fundamentally a visualization problem: how can we trace the movement of millions of mud particles through time? Consulting with a biologist, I designed an interactive, 3D animation tool for an immersive virtual reality research environment.
Healthy Homes Public Asthma Intervention
Brown University School of Public Health
I designed a community intervention for the Brown University School of Public Health. For four months, I visited families of young Black children with pediatric asthma, researched economic incentive options including home remediation and medication vouchers, and sat in City Hall reading the budget and assessing government-funded housing plans.
