About this site
Citizen Codex is a creative agency that brings the power of data journalism to liberate research and data through art and storytelling.
SubscribeOur Independent Publication
Our collective identity as a team is moored in “show not tell.” In that spirit, we pour ourselves into creating informative data stories for the benefit of the general public. Through these stories, our team of researchers, writers, data scientists, developers, artists and designers are continually perfecting our tools, methods, and skills. And learning from our experience for the benefit of our clients.
Our Design Principles
Honest to the science. Kind to the mind. Captivating to the soul. Pleasing to the eye.
Our Service to Institutions That Matter
Research centers, think tanks, advocacy organizations, trade associations and other similar institutions produce remarkably rich and complex insights and data that are critical to our understanding of the world. This research touches all aspects of people’s lives from health to crime to housing and foreign policy.
Yet this information struggles to make its way into the hands of vast numbers of people that can benefit from it, including the general public.
Whether it’s because of traditional academic writing styles that are difficult to consume, poorly designed graphics, or outdated reliance on traditional news media to provide translation, these institutions are not getting the kind of reach their ideas deserve.
Citizen Codex was born out of a frustration felt by leaders at these well-meaning institutions, who produce groundbreaking information that remains trapped and unseen.
We are a creative agency that exists to bring the power of data journalism in service of liberating that research and data to enable much wider engagement and inspiration. Our services include:
- Data stories. We work with researchers to create beautiful visual graphics and captivating stories to enable wide engagement and reach.
- Interactive Stories. We build highly engaging interactive tools and visuals that bring complex data to life.
- Data Science as a Service. We provide data science and engineering support so that researchers and writers can focus on what matters most: generating insights.
This creative work is wrapped with support to maximize engagement across social media networks and communities.
