Data visualizations serve Chicago communities. In 2020, one in five adults in the United States experienced a mental health issue, yet less than half of those individuals will seek mental healthcare services. That means that tens of millions of individuals in the US continue to struggle without professional intervention.

The challenge

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
