About
Welcome! I’m Marisa Dreher and I create visualizations that effectively communicate insights within data. After graduating with a degree in Neuroscience and collaborating on visualizations with scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus, I combined my passion for data, science, and art and founded Dreher Design Studio in 2020. Freelancing has presented opportunities to work with clients across various disciplines. I am always eager to expand my toolbox and explore new techniques and datasets. I can enhance existing visualizations, or take on the entire data visualization process, from data processing and analysis, to visualization design and development. Along with visualization and design services, I work across a variety of media creating vibrant, colorful artwork. I’m passionate about my work and always happy to help even if it’s just a quick chat. Reach out to discuss how we can visualize your data or create an original piece of art.
