Data Visualization: Selected Works
Data can tell a story, and my work often uses data to explore themes related to politics and social justice. Below is a sample of print and interactive pieces I've created using data.
LGBTQ Quality of Life Index
​
This circular graph combines factors such as legal protections and hate crimes to craft a narrative of what U.S. states may be the safest places to live for LGBTQ+ people.
Hate Crime Visualizations
​
This project examines hate crime rates by what demographic characteristic is being targeted and separates them based on the type of crime.
Nuclear Tests Visualization
​
A large poster that examines the relationship between the political affiliation of a country's leader and the number of nuclear weapons tests over time.
