Data Visualization Made Possible at Stamen


No one does data visualization like Stamen does.

Stamen is a 100% privately-owned company. It was established in 2011 by Eric Rodenbeck. Michael Migurski joined in 2003 and the third partner Shawn Allen joined in 2006.

Stamen combines art and science. Its most compelling work was Stamen’s design of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards that went live on Twitter. In that design, Stamen captured how Kanye West seized the microphone from Taylor Swift.

After that, many other well-known companies hired Stamen for various projects, including Nike Basketball. Stamen is technically savvy, with projects visualizing taxi traffics, real estate values, and crime patterns all captured in revealing maps.

Through the years, Stamen has developed a healthy relationship with a wide range of clients including universities, political parties, technology firms, designers, car manufacturers and architects.

Stamen is committed to research. Inventions and discovery always inspires the work at hand. Rodenbeck says, “We are neither a research and developmental lab nor a design firm. We are something in between – a place where work is valued, good ideas come from anywhere, and results are paramount.”
