About Datascribe

Let me introduce myself

Datascribe is a company passionate about interpreting data to
make it accessible, engaging, and beautiful.

Who

Hi there, I'm Rachel Schweiker, owner and chief data visualizer of Datascribe.

While working as a research scientist in various biology and earth science labs, I realized the unfortunate disconnect between scientific research and what is communicated to the public via popular science outlets. I saw this communication problem everywhere - there is so much information we have access to, but our time to digest it is limited.

I was drawn to data visualization as a way to solve this problem, as pages of text or spreadsheets can be synthesized into clear, concise, and entertaining graphics. I'm self-taught in R, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop and completed Harvard's Master of Statistics program in 2017. I started Datascribe at the beginning of 2018 in order to work with a variety of clients with interesting data problems.

Why

My clients are universities, city governments, defence contractors, and startups. I've been able to integrate successfully into the processes of all these organizations. The scope of every project is different. I'll work with you to find what approach fits your needs.

What

I offer a variety of services from data science to graphic design. I'm especially passionate about educational infographics, data journalism, and science communication.

Where

I'm based in Boulder, Colorado and I'm happy to meet with you in person if you're in the area. I can also work with anyone in the world, completely remotely.

How

Contact me at hello@datascribeconsulting.com and tell me your idea. We'll figure out the scope of the project together, and what exactly you expect in a finished product. Then I'll get started - I can work independently or part of your existing team. I'll iterate what I produce to make sure you get exactly what you need. Typically, I charge an hourly rate, but for well-defined projects, we can talk about a project rate. I hope to hear from you!
