I am Julia Schneider aka Doc J Snyder, a Berlin-based comic author. I create tailor-made comic essays – often on complex topics at the intersection of society, economics, art, data and technology. Bridging the gap between intellect and intuition, I like to inspire people to form their own positions. For me, it’s also very much about making insights accessible – that’s why I use open licenses. The PhD I have is in economics (empirical microeconometric studies on the labor market) and I have worked for many years in academic economics and data science. (And for a shorter time as a professional curtain and draperies salesperson.)
Reach out if you, too, like to approach complex issues with creativity and respect – and if you’re bored with clichés. I really enjoy such company:
