Interactive Tools & Data Applications

Beyond static design, I build several kinds of custom interactive tools that let users explore data on their own terms.

The Graph Styles Excel Add-In applies your organization’s chart styles — colors, fonts, axes, gridlines — automatically inside Excel with a single click. Built in VBA and fully customizable, it takes the guesswork out of chart formatting and helps your whole team produce consistent, on-brand visuals.

I also build web-based data tools: explorers, calculators, style guide builders, and dashboard templates — all designed to make complex data more accessible and engaging. Recent examples include a Social Security Benefits Explorer that models reform scenarios in real time, a Data Visualization Style Guide Builder that helps organizations establish consistent visual standards, and a color palette tool that enables users to select and test their colors for accessibility.

If you have data that would benefit from an interactive treatment — or a team that needs a smarter Excel workflow — I’d love to talk through what’s possible.
