About me

Data should always be clear, insightful and actionable. If it isn't, you probably need to hire me! I have 8 years experience in helping global brands achieving the following: - Find the right data visualisation solution - Dig actionable insights from complex data - Create data stories audiences want to engage with - Draw uncluttered dashboards for users to be able to take data driven decisions - Create compelling data visualisations in various formats - decks, interactive pages, scrollytelling, maps, etc. I am a passionate advocate for storytelling and a regular speaker at data journalism events and I have written two chapters explaining my methodology in data journalism books.
