Welcome to
The Chingona Co

Welcome to The Chingona Co, where we specialize in research, data systems, and communication services that effectively convey the work, data, and impact of organizations. Our team is dedicated to understanding your audience and goals, and developing clear and accessible tools such as reports, infographics, dashboards, presentations, and streamlined data systems that support ongoing use.

About The Chingona Co

The Chingona Co is a research, data systems, and consulting business that helps organizations communicate complex information clearly while building the systems needed to support that work.

Many organizations produce valuable research, data, and insights, but struggle to manage that information or present it in ways that are accessible and useful for decision-makers. The Chingona Co bridges that gap by strengthening both data infrastructure and communication tools, transforming complex information into systems, visuals, reports, and tools that support understanding and action.

Our work combines research, systems design, strategy, and communication. We approach both design and data systems as tools for clarity and long-term impact. Every project begins with understanding the organization, the audience, and the purpose of the work.

Her work focuses on helping organizations translate complex data into clear insights that support decision-making, policy discussions, and public understanding, while also developing the data infrastructure needed to sustain that work.

Throughout her career, Ericka has worked with organizations across the United States to develop reports, dashboards, infographics, and research communication tools that make data more accessible to diverse audiences. She has also led the design and development of data systems for organizations in California, supporting more coordinated, efficient, and sustainable data practices.
