3iap helps clients understand and visualize data about humans.

Are they healthy? Are they happy? Are they learning? What do they do at work all day? What do they like to talk about? How do they think? Who do they trust?

3iap is a research and design practice focused on civic and social impact, specializing in outcome-driven data communication, thoughtful analysis, and advancing the science of visualization.

Dataviz Training, Speaking, and Workshops

Eli's workshops help civic and social institutions apply the latest research in data, design, and psychology to present data about their communities safely, fairly, and effectively.

Attendees learn to both prevent harm and inspire positive change, by identifying hidden risks when analyzing social groups (especially marginalized communities) and developing proactive strategies to use data for good.
