We build for
think tanks.

Astoria Web Collective is a studio with a research mindset, built around a small core team and a network of trusted specialists. We partner with think tanks, newsrooms, advocacy groups, and civic organizations to build the editorial platforms, data experiences, and interactive tools their work depends on.

Provenance

The founders bring flagship data-journalism and editorial-platform experience from the Council on Foreign Relations' in-house team — including the Women's Power Index, a D3 and Leaflet tracker of women's political representation across 198 countries cited by the UN, The Economist, and Foreign Policy — alongside the founders' independent editorial engagements, including CalMatters, Stony Brook University, and NASA.
