A Giant Network for UNESCO and a Course on Skillshare with my Personal Tips
Sharing my latest personal & client projects, art collections, blogs, and more
From revealing connections in our culture with UNESCO to a new dataviz course on Skillshare and debunking the myth of having a "normal" body temperature for the Scientific American.
Dive into your Cultural Heritage | UNESCO
I've been honored to work with UNESCO to visualize the connections between our Intangible Cultural Heritage. Currently, about 500 cultural elements are inscribed on UNESCO’s list. All of these have been extensively “tagged” with concepts such as Family, Trees, Dance, and more by UNESCO’s experts. The main visual lets you explore and discover how our cultural elements are connected through these concepts.
And that’s not all; I got the opportunity to create three more visuals, each having its own focus. One shows the connections to nature and ecosystems specifically, another which cultural elements are under threat, and the final one reveals the domains of which the elements are a part. All visuals are highly interactive, you can often zoom, click, hover, and move it all around, and I hope you'll enjoy exploring them all!

Dataviz Course | Skillshare
I've been super happy to work with Skillshare to create an online course where I share my tips to take your dataviz beyond the default. A quick 1-hour course that I hope will teach you many different techniques.
You can take my Customizing Charts for Beauty & Impact course through the link below with a 2-month Skillshare trial.

Revealing Trends | ScenarioDNA
ScenarioDNA has a (patented) data-driven method that addresses the study of people and their ideologies over time; it’s quite fascinating!
I build an interactive visual prototype to help scenarioDNA’s clients understand the data and see upcoming & established trends in their respective sectors.

Gold at the IIB Awards!
On December 4th, the extensive dataviz-driven story that I helped to create together with Shirley Wu and the Guardian US team about how homeless people are being bussed around the US was honored with the Gold award in Politics & Global at the 2018 Information is Beautiful Awards!

Goodbye 98.6° | Scientific American
(or 37° Celsius for basically all non-Americans ^.~ )
I had no idea! But it's actually not true that 98.6° F is the "normal" body temperature. New crowd-sourced data, plus older lab research, shows that our body's temperature fluctuates throughout the day, is different for men and women, and also depends on the location of measurement. And it's basically always lower than 98.6 degrees. You can see the visual I made for the Scientific American in full on the Graphic Science page of the December issue.
