About
I love making things that stay with you. Visual stories that you will remember because they took a chance on a maximalist aesthetic and unapologetically followed my vision. Data carefully moulded into a human-first and human-centric shape and tastefully displayed on a page.
I have worked on a diverse range or projects over the last 5 years at Reuters Graphics and as a researcher at the University of Tokyo. I have put to use my creativity and technical skills in web development and data to craft unique pages on topics ranging from Eurovision, the World Cup, and quantum cryptography, to the war in Ukraine; technically challenging pieces such as the Reuters 2024 US election live results maps; experimental data art; and works that broadly fall under the creative coding umbrella.
Prior to my work in data storytelling and frontend engineering, I built and put machine learning models into production at a successful London startup and at Microsoft. I completed my master’s thesis in a fascinating field at the intersection of machine learning, linguistics, and quantum computing at the University of Oxford, and earned my undergraduate degree in maths from UCL.
I like learning. Whether it’s a human language, a computer language, or a whole new domain of knowledge I need to dive into for my next story. I like hacking together solutions in code (not to imply I don’t write clean code - I do!) to whatever problem I’m faced with in my work. I also like community building, and have poured a great deal of effort into running the London-based creative coding community c3s: Creative Coding Crafts Space. Please stop by one of our meetups if you can!
(I also love my two wonderful cats - a black cat and a torbie 🐾.)
