Hello!
I’m Stefanie, a designer, artist, and author exploring experimental approaches to communicating data and information to all ages and audiences.
With this mindset, the projects I create might be wearable, danceable, or hoppable, be found in hospitals, museums, or on television, and will often use a human-scaled, hand-crafted design process.
This experimental practice informs my work as a conceptual consultant alongside R&D and design research teams to sketch and conceive visualisation approaches for the data-driven products of the future. I also collaborate with creative agencies, where I’m commissioned to use client data to create artwork for campaigns.
My work has been exhibited at major galleries including MoMA, the Storefront for Art and Architecture (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), ArtScience Museum (Singapore), the V&A, the Design Museum (‘Designs of the Year 2016’), the Wellcome Collection, the Science Museum, The Southbank Centre, and Somerset House (London), Bletchley Park, and is also in the permanent collection of MoMA.

My latest illustrated book with Miriam Quick – I am a book. I am a portal to the universe. – was named one of the Financial Times’ Best Books of 2020 and best of all, named the winner of the Royal Society’s Young People’s Book Prize 2021!
Occasionally, I also design high-quality colour books for authors and artists including Yayoi Kusama, Greta Thunberg, Haruki Murakami, and even Brooklyn Beckham. 🙃

I also further the conversation around data, design, and creativity through speaking about my practice at arts and science festivals, design conferences, and at internal company events.
Finally, you'll often find me teaching hands-on, friendly, and accessible data visualisation workshops for a wide range of backgrounds and abilities.
