Case Study – Survey Data Visualization

2. About the Client

A leading consultancy working in the public policy and financial inclusion space. Their projects span large-scale research and impact assessments, especially in developing economies. 

3. The Challenge

Client needed to make sense of complex survey data scattered across multiple formats:

• Unstructured Excel files

• Google Sheets

• Secondary public datasets

The data was rich in demographics and policy-related insights, but hard to work with and harder to visualize.
There was no internal data visualization capability, and the team required support to design and deliver outputs that could be understood by policymakers and public stakeholders.

• Design: Carefully matched fonts, colors, and iconography to align with the report’s theme and audience

• Collaboration: Worked closely with the client’s web team to develop a lightweight, responsive embed code for seamless website integration

6. Impact & Outcomes
