Articles & announcements

I launched visualisingdata.com in 2009 primarily as a blog, to continue the momentum of learning from my Masters degree. By using this platform to write about data visualisation work, resources, and developments it helped to continue refining my knowledge and convictions. Over time, an audience for these posts grew and, from there, so too did professional opportunities.

The frequency of posting has calmed in its intensity since those early days, but I continue to publish articles and share announcements that track developments in both my professional experiences as well as across the field at large.  Here’s a selection of sample pieces from down the years.

This is the full catalogue of latest and archive posts covering articles, design commentaries, new work announcements, and general news from across the data visualisation field.
