Services

Four ways to bring
Tia in.

Each service area is distinct. But in practice, they're rarely siloed — the most powerful engagements draw from all four at once.

★ Signature Service · Pillar 01

Urban Data Storytelling

Spatial Analysis · Dashboard Design · Community Narrative

City data is everywhere. Understanding what it means for the people who actually live in those cities — that's the gap. Urban Data Storytelling combines spatial analysis, interactive dashboard design, and human-centered narrative to make complex urban trends legible to stakeholders, policymakers, and communities alike.

The result isn't just a chart. It's a decision-ready story that an elected official, a foundation program officer, and a neighborhood association can all read — and act on.

  • Spatial Analysis & Mapping — geographic visualization showing where policy lands and who it misses
  • Interactive Dashboard Design — live tools for non-technical stakeholders and community briefings
  • Displacement & Housing Indices — custom metrics combining census, permit, and community data
  • Mobility & Transit Storytelling — movement patterns into equity-centered policy narratives
  • Legislative Data Packages — analysis formatted for testimony and committee briefing
  • Community Data Literacy — workshops putting data ownership back in community hands
Who this is for
Foundations & funders
Who need to communicate impact to boards, grantees, and the public in ways that go beyond annual reports.
Legislative committees & government agencies
Who need data analysis formatted for testimony, public comment, or policy brief — not a spreadsheet.
Community coalitions
Who want to use city data to make their case — and need tools their members can actually read and use.

Not sure which service fits?
Most engagements start with a conversation.
