Data Visualizations Vol. 1

--

A selection of my favourite data visualizations that I've created over the past two years.

In 2017 I created my first data visualization, charting every astronaut that lived on the International Space Station since its launch. Since then I've designed numerous data visualizations, been longlisted in the Information is Beautiful Awards three times, and have created data driven work for clients like WIRED, the BBC and Norwegian Airlines.

I love using design to communicate complexity as engagingly and beautifully as possible. In a world of dwindling attention spans, I think data rich visualizations provide the perfect medium through which to convey important issues, complicated ideas and nuanced stories.

Below are some of my favourite projects I've worked on over the last two years. These include the ISS data viz mentioned above, an exploration of animal extinction over the last century, and a recent piece I did for WIRED mapping the UK tech scene.
