Designing
understanding.
Grahaphics is the independent practice of Graham Roberts.
I work with teams across disciplines to transform complex data and concepts into clear and compelling stories and experiences.
Services
Ways we can work together.
Data visualization & information design
Production-grade explanatory graphics, charts, and 3D visualization for dense, technical subject matter that has to stay accurate while becoming legible.
Advisory & design leadership counsel
Ongoing counsel for leaders building or scaling a design practice: how to shape the org, who to hire, what standards to hold, and the calls that are hard to make from inside.
AI-forward product & experience strategy
Where generative and spatial technology earns its place in a product, and where it doesn't. I pioneered spatial design approaches early and have spent the years since putting them into production rather than into demos.
Strategy sprints
A short, scoped engagement that moves a team from ambiguity to a defensible direction: audit what exists, frame the options, recommend a path, and show what it looks like.
Prototype builds
Working code, not comps. Interactive prototypes that pressure-test a visual system, an interaction, or a dataset before engineering commits to building it.
Fractional design leadership
Interim leadership for a team between hires, or for an initiative that needs a senior hand for a defined stretch without a permanent headcount.
Workshops, talks & teaching
Sessions for teams, conferences, and classrooms on information design, immersive storytelling, and working credibly with emerging technology.
How it works
Three shapes an engagement takes.
Retainer
OngoingA standing block of time each month for advisory work, reviews, and the questions that come up between them.
Sprint
2–6 weeksA defined question, answered. Ends in a recommendation and enough designed evidence to act on it.
Project
ScopedA deliverable built end to end: a prototype, a visualization system, or a launch-ready experience.
