Information Design Data Visualisation Research Synthesis Strategic Communication

Research, made
legible.

A selection of work from my time at Material, a Fortune 500 information design and strategy consultancy. Across these projects I've sat inside consumer research, privacy studies, market landscape analysis, and executive strategy work — turning dense findings into visual systems stakeholders could actually use. Figures, quotes, and findings shown here are replaced with placeholder data for confidentiality; the structure, system, and design decisions are unchanged from what was delivered. This is a sample of that work, not the full extent of it.

Case Study

Figures, quotes, and findings shown across these visuals are illustrative — standing in for confidential original data. The structures, systems, and layouts shown are unchanged from what was delivered to each client.

Context & Challenge

Research needed a form that could hold up in the room.

Research and Strategy teams at Material regularly produce findings that are rigorous but hard to act on — buried in slide decks, spread across formats, or written for researchers rather than decision-makers. My work sits downstream of that research: taking what's already been found and giving it a form that holds up in front of senior stakeholders.

Objective

Build visual systems that carry the weight of the findings.

Across these projects, the goal has stayed consistent: build visual systems that carry the weight of the findings without asking the reader to do extra work. That's meant custom data visualisation, information hierarchy, and narrative sequencing — applied to consumer segmentation, privacy research, market analysis, and internal strategy alike.

My Role

Translating raw research and strategy input into a visual narrative
Designing custom data visualisation and information hierarchy
Structuring reports for both live walkthroughs and standalone reading
Producing final deliverables under real client timelines

Impact

Primary artifacts for stakeholder decision-making.

These projects were used directly in stakeholder decision-making — not as supporting visuals, but as the primary artifact presented in the room. Specific outcomes and figures aren't shareable here, but the work itself, shown below, is unchanged from what was delivered.

Great things coming soon

Process

Insight Triage

Reviewing research and strategy input to establish what needs to lead, what supports it, and what belongs in an appendix rather than the main narrative.

Information Architecture

Structuring how findings unfold — section sequence, the relationship between summary and depth, and the document as something navigable rather than linear.

Visual System Design

Building the visual language each project lives in: identity marks, custom data visualisation, typographic hierarchy — suited to the subject and the audience.

Delivery Under Constraint

Producing presentation-ready work built to function both as a live stakeholder walkthrough and a standalone reference, often on tight timelines.
