WORK PORTFOLIO

A motivation to help client organisations get more from and do more with their data themselves is at the heart of the range of visualisation design and consultancy services I offer.

The emphasis is always on offering best practice advice and assistance for developing client capabilities and solutions to their visualisation challenges. Rather than have data visualisation done to you, my motivation is to help you do it for yourself. My consultancy offerings include the following type of engagements:

• Data Visualisation Evaluation – Reviewing existing visual products (reports, graphics, projects) and providing expert advice on recommendations for potential improvements and enhancements.
• Concept Design Specification – Developing concept design specifications and/or providing detailed recommendations for visualisation solutions fit for an organisation’s purpose and context.
• Facilitated Consultancy – Often an engagement that works as a companion to a training workshop, this service involves helping clients/organisations lead on developing their own potential solution to a workplace challenge under facilitated guidance .

Recent consultancy engagements have included working with Rethink Ireland and NUIG, for whom I advised on and developed visualisations for inclusion in a report presenting findings from ‘An Evaluation of Rethink Ireland’s Education Fund‘:

“Thank you Andy for your expertise and patience as we worked through the final report. Your work has brought so much more clarity and vividness to ours. We very much look forward to working with you again in the future”, Dr. Cormac Forkan, Lecturer and Senior Researcher, University of Galway.

Between 2015 and 2020 I provided design consultancy services to Arsenal F.C. primarily working with the Performance and Research Team and erstwhile Head of Psychology & Personal Development, Dr David Priestley. Now working as an Independent Consultant Psychologist, I continue to collaborate with David developing graphical reports for his work with elite sports people as well as business executives.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Andy on many different analysis, data visualisation, and graphical presentation projects since 2012 and I have always greatly valued his expertise and professionalism, as well as his creative and critical thinking. I look forward to more years of collaboration going forward.”, Dr. David Priestley, Psychologist.

During early 2022 I had the pleasure of working with Bletchley Park’s Exhibitions Manager, Erica Munro, Elin Simonsson of Nissen Richards Studio, and other contributors, to provide data visualisation expertise to help shape a temporary exhibition, ‘The Art of Data‘. This exhibition explored how data can be visualised to reveal patterns and stories, helping us understand the world around us, and is framed around many of the themes synonymous with Bletchley.
