About

About me

I make data visible in forms that go beyond standard charts — from interactive maps and dashboards to infographics and data-art.

You have to dare to go further than your own imagination. A good visualization not only provides insight into the data, but also resonates visually and fits the subject and audience.

I mostly work with climate data and geo-information. From brainstorm and sketch to code and delivery — I'm involved in the entire process. I design thematically appropriate visualizations where the form matches the content, like a burning tree for forest fires or a blood stain for war casualties.

I also teach data visualization and mentor students in visual data communication.

Outside of work, I draw portraits, play music with my band Steelstreet, go bouldering, weave baskets, and tend to the garden.
