Explore Explain S5 E3: Natalie Erdem

Welcome to the third episode of the fifth season of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design.

In this latest episode I am delighted to welcome Natalie Erdem, Managing Partner and Product Manager at TWO-N, based in New York City. We explore the story behind TWO-N’s development of the MSNBC Election Big Board, the dynamic visualisation tool used by National Political Correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, Steve Kornacki during the live broadcast of the 2018 US mid-terms and subsequent elections.
