At Tablet Infographics, every project is a chance to solve a visual puzzle — to take complex, layered information and shape it into something people can understand at a glance.

When the editors at American Way, American Airlines’ in-flight magazine, needed to explain how the Panama Canal’s lock system worked, they had one big challenge: they only had a 2'' x 4'' space to do it. That’s where I came in. As an infographic designer who specializes in simplifying complex systems, I created a compact but detailed visual that shows how ships travel through the Panama Canal using a series of locks powered by gravity.
