Hi, I’m Jon Schwabish
I’m an economist turned data visualization advocate, helping researchers, analysts, and organizations communicate their data more effectively. Through PolicyViz I share tutorials, host the podcast, write books, and work with clients across sectors to make data communication clearer, more accessible, and more human.
How I Can Help
From design to teaching to speaking — here’s how we can work together.
My Approach
Every project starts with a conversation. I want to understand your goals, your audience, and the story you’re trying to tell — before we talk about charts, slides, or tools.
From there I bring my background as an economist, my experience as a designer, and my years of teaching to help you communicate your work in ways that are clear, accurate, and engaging.
