![Being named one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business 2013 is a huge honor. It is equal parts thrilling and humbling; I vow to do my part to continue to make business creative and data cool!!
I also want to say a BIG “thank you” to all the team members and clients who have been experimenting with me, teaching me, and challenging me for the last seven years when it comes to data-driven storytelling. Let’s keep pushing the field forward!

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who has given and taught me so much. Chiefly: patience, grace, compassion, goofiness, vivacity, respect, humility, curiosity.
Finished up at #Bikram and hit some #circuits (core) and #ladylifting (upper body) with @ariasfitness. #dailydouble #fitfluential #permanentchange

Beutler Ink: Telling Our Own Story
Here at Beutler Ink, we like to say that “we find your story and help you tell it.” This spring, we’ve been thinking a lot about our own story and the best way to tell it, as we’ve grown our team and expanded our services to add visual storytelling as our second core offering, alongside our…

All told, I’ve probably clocked over 10,000 collaborative hours with both Bill and Jenny and plan to clock tens of thousands more. Big shout outs to my other favorite BI folks: Rhi, Morgan, Pete, and Chris!
