Project to create a refreshed design system for data visualisation at the Health Foundation.

• Completed an audit of 244 charts to inform new designs
• Undertook accessibility testing for colour and visual hierarchy
• Created detailed chart components for online and print
• Published new user guidelines
• Reduced time for producing print charts by 50%

My first interactive data viz project built with Svelte + D3, data analysis in python and design assets in Figma.

Meet Lily and 27 other cats as they loaf, stretch, and groom. Using unique motion tracking data, I explored how these cats spend their day and if it’s different in summer or winter (Spoiler: They chill most of the time).

Does your cat fit the profile?

Various features I developed in my role as Product Design Lead at VivaCity to drive innovation and ensure user-centric solutions.

• Prototype new features and data visualisations for the dashboard.
• Implement a UX strategy and introduce design processes including user flows, wireframing, and user testing.
• Lead evaluation and user research initiatives to test, iterate and measure the effectiveness of new solutions.
• Own product marketing activities and outputs such as newsletters, animated videos, release communication and help centre articles.

I don’t have Spotify, but I use Strava. So I created my personal Year in Sports Wrapped poster. I decided to turn it into an app so anyone who uses Strava could create their own version.

Personal project tracking and visualising my plastic waste over one year using the MyPlasticDiary app.

I had a lot of fun playing around with the autocomplete feature in Google Search to create data visualiations. So I wanted to make it accessible to more people and turned it into a webapplication. This is one of my first webapplications built in Streamlit which runs on python. Throw in any prompt and the app will complete the sentence for you based on Google’s autocomplete.

Contributions to the #30DayMapChallenge hosted each year by Topi Tjukanov. For my third year, I continued to use python for making most of the maps. I wanted to build on some of the things I learned in 2022 but add a few more techniques to my repertoire. I also explored a bit of Blender which is something I would like to learn a bit more about.

Personal project to keep practicting and experimenting with Data visualisation tools. Semi-regular posts of data vis creations with the goal to make it to 100 data visualisations at some point.

Research on funding to voluntary organisations in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Commissioned by The National Lottery Community Fund, Two Ridings Community Foundation, Leeds Community Foundation, and the Yorkshire Funders Forum.

The aim was to build a picture of the ‘funding ecology’ within the region to encourage greater collaboration between funders and raise awareness of funding gaps.

Data sources:

• Open grant data from 360Giving and survey data from local funders and authorities.
• Charity Commission data on registered charities in the region

Between 2018 and 2020, I’ve been leading on the UK Civil Society Almanac — a programme of work on the UK charity sector, its size, finances, workforce and volunteering. It is based on data of more than 160,000 charities as well as making use of official surveys by the ONS and DCMS.

My responsibilities included:

• Managing a project team during all stages of data collection, analysis and communication.
• Producing a rangeof outputs (website, pdf summary report, blog posts, research briefings, additional insight pieces).
• Ensuring outputs meet internal and external user needs and are informed by user research.
• Overseeing the organisation of technical aspects of the project to ensure long-term sustainability, including implementation of standards, code review processes and documentation.
• Undertaking analysis and data visualisation using a range of tools, in particular Python, SQL, and Datawrapper.
