David's Portfolio
- I selected the following large Storymap's as representative examples of my information design work at The Grove where I was the lead designer. Each of them were critical in moving us to another level of confidence and excitement about this big picture way of working. What these photos do not show, of course, is the rich process of facilitated design meetings that we led as a way of generating this material. The value of these sessions to client organizations is huge, as a wonderful, safe way to lead people into created a common story to which everyone can commit.
My Strategic Visioning Collaborators
- I've included this photo album of some of the people in The Grove's associate network that use our facilitation and Strategic Visioning methods integrally in their work. They are my teachers and I theirs. Collaboration networks are behind most truly innovative, robust methodologies, and our is no exception. Claiming credit as an individual would be like a tree claiming credit for the forest. If you aren't here and know that you should be, send me you picture and a writeup and I'll post it.
Partners for Change Model
- These are two supportive visuals for a Partners for Change model I co-designed with Sissel Waage and Ruth Rominger. It shows how we would bring multiple sustainability researchers and activists together around critical issues and support them to create collaborative efforts in media and tool creation.

Yes, these are great. It was very cool to see you do this at TED. I was at TED@Aspen, so I didn't have the opportunity to come by and say 'hi'. Maybe at the next Coro event.

Hello David
Enjoyed the video. That must have been a ton of work. Very cool, though.
Have you ever looked at a data visualization tool called Tableau? My link above is a work in progress, but when i was searching for information viz experts, i found your site. They are a client of mine and i'm trying to find the best information and data visualization experts out there.

Hi, I just found your site, while researching Data Visualization Experts. I really like your posts. Have you seen any Excel data tool sites? I'd enjoy connecting by email if you do. My client's site is http://www.tableausoftware.com/fast-analytics, if you're interested. Keep up the blog posts -- good stuff!
