I’ve always believed growth happens when we step outside our comfort zone. For years, I’ve worked on branding, web design, and infographics—turning ideas into visual stories. But now, I want to go further.
Interactive data visualization has become my new obsession.
I often have ambitious ideas for presenting data—fluid, interactive, and immersive. But execution is another story. It slows me down. Tools like Tableau or Flourish make visualization accessible and have interactive output, yet they lack the design flexibility I’m used to in Illustrator. On the other hand, JavaScript like D3.js offer limitless possibilities but demand a level of coding expertise I need to refine.
Over the next six months, I want to challenge myself to:
- Create interactive data visualizations as refined as static designs.
- Explore coding and other tools for data storytelling.
- Prepare for next year’s Information Is Beautiful Awards.
I have a background in front-end development, but my career has largely focused on branding and graphic design. Now, I want to reconnect with my technical side—to merge design and data in a way that is both meaningful and visually compelling, bringing it to life through interactivity.
I know this journey will require patience, learning, and possibly collaboration. It won’t be easy, but growth never is. Let’s see where this takes me.
