Case studies

Projects

14 pieces of work, written up in full — the problem, what I designed and why, what changed, and what I would do differently. Nine of them use public datasets and can be shown end to end, screenshots and all.

Screenshots of live humanitarian systems are not published. Where visuals appear, they are illustrative rebuilds created with synthetic data that reproduce the structure and design of the original work without exposing any operational or personal information — on data-protection grounds.
