Hi, my name is Gab.
I’m an info designer and illustrator, but my work is really about synthesizing information and communicating insights—while connecting with audiences.
Before info design, I was a programmer and editorial illustrator. I also kept a blog about freelancing as an artist, reaching 13,000 readers monthly. Now, I’ve found my happy place at the intersection of creativity and technicality: creating engaging and informative visuals while learning about all sorts of fields like policy, science, and business. The more I don’t know about something, the better!
I enjoy working on projects that contextualize issues and tackle complexity. Got a Big Story to tell, but not sure where to start with the data or info? Shoot me a message at gabkdejesus@gmail.com!
