About Sylvia Van Schie

Amsterdam-based information specialist, innovator and illustrator. Activist and artivist. Keen on making complex information accessible for all by means of design thinking and data visualization. My professional journey revolves around the art of transforming data into user-friendly visual narratives. By blending my academic background in the fields of data engineering and information science with visual design I aim to bridge knowledge gaps. With a sharp eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the power of design, I'm dedicated to making information visually engaging. Technology requires speed but sustainable change remains dependent on understanding people and what drives them. My mission is to bring people closer together, accelerating social change and viable progress. The planet's livability is deteriorating rapidly, I believe the choices made now should have a positive impact on future generations. This principle applies not only to my personal life but also to my professional endeavors.
