About
r42 has evolved over two decades — from a small Montreal web studio into a focused space for thoughtful data visualization.
It's still led by its founder, Ralph Spandl, who brings the same curiosity and care to every visual today that built r42's reputation years ago.
Ralph Spandl founded r42 more than 20 years ago, creating CMS-based websites for Canadian brands including CN, Transat, and Laurentian Bank.
After two decades in web development, his focus shifted toward data visualization — blending design, usability, and analytics.
For over three years, Ralph worked with Supermetrics, developing a library of custom visuals for Looker Studio and Power BI.
In 2025, he returned to r42 full-time, combining web and visualization expertise to help teams present data with clarity and confidence.
