Data
Walks
Turning community data into a place people can enter, question and use.
The assignment
Make the numbers impossible to walk past.
Data walks transform dense public-health research into large-scale visual experiences. Each installation gives communities a shared place to see the story, discuss what it means and decide what comes next.

The format meets people where they are.

Selected installation panels
One story unfolds across many surfaces.
Most Data Walks include roughly eight large-format posters. The panels below are excerpts from three broader installations—not standalone projects or complete sets.
Participant takeaways
The Walk continues after the room.
Some installations included a one-page handout participants could carry with them. Cowley County and Upward Mobility are shown here as takeaways—not as installation posters.
In the room
The design becomes a conversation.
Event photography captures what the panels alone cannot: participants stopping, pointing, questioning and carrying the data into discussion.

Beyond the installation
Make it useful.
Make it repeatable.
A 28-page workbook turns the experience into a practical tool—guiding teams from initial vision through planning, hosting and next steps.
The result
Research people can
stand inside.
