Stephen Boyd
information design & data strategy
Hello, I'm Stephen. I help people make sense of their data so that it can be acted on and explored. I am based in Toronto, Canada and currently available for new projects.
My most recent work and writing can be found on my blog. You can look at the projects below to see the work I do.
Almost every project start with a question. "Can you help me make sense of this?"
I'd love to hear from you! Especially if you have an unusual data set, or presentation request. Some of the most interesting work comes from the unexpected. Please get in touch.
