Being the only one responsible for data at an organization is exhausting.

Welcome to Data-ish, resources and a community for practitioners who are tired of figuring it out alone.

(Let us be your pack)

Who Is This For?

Data-ish is built for anyone responsible for data in their organization, no matter where you are in your career or technical journey.

Seasoned & Technical Practitioners: Whether you’re coding complex database pipelines or running advanced qualitative analysis, Data-ish gives you a collaborative peer community to test ideas, solve problems, and escape isolation.

Early-Career & “Accidental” Evaluators: If you were handed data responsibilities on top of your main job or are just starting out, Data-ish offers a practical, jargon-free space and guidance to help you collect, understand, and use your data with confidence.

If you’re doing the work of data in a mission-driven organization, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Data-ish brings together practitioners across the spectrum of experience to learn, share, and grow together.

What You Get When You Join

Exclusive Monthly Newsletter: Fresh perspectives, useful ideas, and resources to support your work with data and help you stay connected to what’s happening in the field.

Data-ish Community Zooms: Unfiltered, off-the-record spaces where peers step out of organizational silos to wrangle real world realities from AI integration challenges to overcoming “database trauma”.

Tools & Methodologies: Practical strategies adapted from LEGO® Serious Play® and design thinking methodologies to make data meaningful, accessible, and engaging.
