Consumer researcher. Data storyteller. Code artist.
Three worlds converge in this space. Research, data, and code art.
Data tells us what is. It measures, counts, and maps the world as it stands. Research into human and consumer behaviour asks why, building frameworks to make sense of patterns that raw numbers alone cannot explain. Code art takes both and gives them form, turning datasets into visual narratives, algorithms into something you can see, feel, and question.
The empiricists insisted we start with observation. The information designers showed that clarity reveals truth. The creative coders proved that computation itself can be a medium of expression.
I believe the most interesting work happens where these disciplines stop being separate.
This is the space I share with the world.

Research Edge Series
An open source platform making evidence based research methodology accessible to working professionals. Too much research methodology lives behind paywalls or in language that excludes the people who need it most. Research Edge exists to change that.
The series covers qualitative analysis, causal inference, sampling theory, measurement validity, and consumer behaviour methods. Every article, tool, and dataset is freely available, built for the working researcher who needs rigour without the gatekeeping.
