Ahoy!

I'm Nick Visscher, principal owner of Spotlight Impact Data Solutions. In 2013 a friend introduced me to the Evergreen Data blog. I'm not sure I had ever heard the term 'data visualization' before. I was already doing it though (poorly) in my research & evaluation reporting making exploding 3D pie charts and eye-crossing clustered bar graphs that I thought looked 'scientific'. Once I learned how effective data visualizations should look I couldn't unsee the bad data viz I was producing or the bad data viz I saw out in the wild. Everywhere I looked I saw terrible graphs, and awful presentation slides. Death by PowerPoint is a real affliction, but it doesn't have to be!

Great design isn't just about making data look pretty. Well-designed reports and presentations compel your audience to pay attention, help them understand your data with clarity, and motivates them to action. 

At Spotlight Impact Data Solutions we help people and organizations create electrifying data visualizations, reports, and presentations that make a visual splash and a meaningful difference. Whether you have a simple #dataviz project on the horizon or need long-term design consulting don't hesitate to reach out and let us know how we might be able to help!
