My main speciality and passion are in data visualisation and information design. I've been freelancing since 2012, where I have also worked on a number of multi-disciplined graphic and web design projects, as well as some copywriting.
I believe design and data visualisation to be important tools to educate and inform people on complex subjects like science and world finances. By making information more visual, people can understand something a lot quicker than reading through large paragraphs of text or massive spreadsheets.
Aside from freelancing, I also spend much of my time researching and writing about data visualisation. In particular, the different types of information visualisation techniques, how they work and what makes them useful. Most of my writing can be found on my other website, The Data Visualisation Catalogue, which contains both a library of different visualisation techniques and a blog.
Lately, I have also moved into the realm of teaching, providing training on data visualisation and on Adobe software. See my list of training courses here.
