Thanks for stopping by.

My name is Sarah Fawson, and I created The Data Says to tell nuanced, data-rich stories more clearly through approachable design. I want people to feel energized by data, and motivated enough by what the data is telling them to be an advocate for positive social change.

  • You need to tell a data story that is not only beautiful, but impactful and necessary
