Hello!

I’m Stefanie, a designer, artist, and author exploring playful, friendly approaches to communicating data and information to all ages and audiences.

With this mindset, the projects I create might be wearable or danceable, be found in hospitals, museums, or on television, and will often use a human-scaled, hand-crafted design process.

This experimental practice informs my work as a conceptual consultant alongside R&D and design research teams to sketch and conceive visualisation approaches for the data-driven products of the future.   

I also collaborate with creative agencies, where I’m commissioned to use client data to create artwork for campaigns.

(A little secret: I’m also an occasional book designer when the right project comes along!)

My work has been exhibited at major galleries including MoMA, the Storefront for Art and Architecture (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), ArtScience Museum (Singapore), the V&A, the Design Museum, the Wellcome Collection, the Science Museum, The Southbank Centre, and Somerset House (London).

A notable project of mine is Dear Data, an award-winning, year-long collaboration with Giorgia Lupi, where each week we gathered and drew our data on a postcard to send to the other.

Nominated for the Design Museum’s illustrious ‘Designs of the Year 2016’ exhibition, the 104 postcards and sketchbooks that form the Dear Data project are held in the permanent collection of MoMA, New York.

The book of this project – Dear Data – is published in multiple languages alongside our second book, Observe, Collect, Draw! : A Visual Journal .

I also further the conversation around data, design, and creativity through speaking about my practice at arts festivals, conferences, and at internal company events.

Finally, you'll often find me teaching hands-on, friendly, and accessible data visualisation workshops for a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. In London, I often hold these workshops through Guardian Masterclasses.
