Design and Development between Art and Science
summary
A design studio turns designers into analysts so visuals reflect real choices, not prettified defaults: designers practice data literacy (cleaning CSVs, prototyping interactions) while devs publish reusable libs (animated-data, center-SVG helpers, new encodings) on GitHub. Projects use Google Sheets/Airtable/Superbase as spreadsheet as source of truth, fetch static payloads via Node, and deploy with static site + CDN using D3, SvelteKit/Next/React. Result: prototypes test interaction over polish, one-to-two month builds ship reliably and fast.
