Visualising Knowledge for Policy
Effective data visualisation at the science-policy interface is more than just making charts look appealing; it is about bridging the gap between complex research and actionable insight.
Co-authoring Visualising Knowledge: Lessons from 25 years of data visualisation for policymakers reflects my core approach: combining scientific accuracy with narrative structure and design clarity. By engaging early in the analytical process, I turn intricate spatial and environmental data into accessible stories, interactive visuals, and strategic infographics.
Rather than maintaining a static online archive, I keep my latest projects, publications, and professional updates active on my LinkedIn profile.
