Insight By Design

We partner with social impact startups and nonprofits to build sustainable data systems that make insight a shared, lasting part of their work. We’ve spent our careers embedded inside mission-driven organizations, often as the first data hires building infrastructure from the ground up or stepping in to strengthen what already existed. Along the way, we noticed a common pattern: brilliant teams doing essential work without the data systems to match. That gap inspired us to create Insight by Design, a way to provide the thoughtful, sustainable data support we wished every team had. Together, we bring 25+ years of hands-on experience across education, public health, child welfare, behavioral health, housing, and criminal justice. We’re driven by a core belief that strong data systems help teams see more clearly and act with greater impact. Our services include:*Data Strategy Consultation — Through listening sessions and operational deep dives, we partner with your team to create a data roadmap that aligns with your current reality and strategic goals.*Hands-On Support — We roll up our sleeves on critical projects, from building initial infrastructure and deploying data visualization tools to creating AI solutions and delivering advanced analytics.*Training & Capacity Building — We empower your team with the skills and knowledge to own and sustain data initiatives long-term, ensuring your systems outlast our engagement. We believe every mission-driven organization deserves data systems that work for them, not against them. We’d love to hear about what you’re working on and explore how we can bring your organization’s data vision to life.
