PROJECT EXAMPLES
BASIC
VOX MEDIA: AUTO MANUFACTURERS AND RIDE-SHARING INVESTMENTS
Vox Media’s data editor needed a single visualisation to illustrate relationships between car companies and the ride-sharing companies in which those manufacturers had invested. In collaboration with the editor, we created a simple interactive graphic that does just that, bringing companies of interest into sharp focus with a single click.
PRO
MICROSOFT: GIRLS IN STEM RESEARCH
Microsoft’s commitment to global equity and diversity runs deep. To accompany a story about the age at which girls lose interest in science, technology, engineering and math, we created a package of interactive graphics that fit with the Microsoft brand, the theme and spirit of the story, and uncover the relevant insights for Microsoft’s worldwide audience.

POLITICO: EU PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION MAP
Politico: EU Parliamentary Election Map – The implications of the EU Parliament election were huge for the world. However, getting a clear picture of how an individual vote or candidate from a single party in any one EU election would impact the balance of the Parliament is complicated. Together with Microsoft and Politico EU, we created an animated data visualisation to show how changing polls were forecasting the balance of power would fall, left to right across the political spectrum, then made it come to life in real time as actual election results were tabulated.
