FiveThirtyEight inspired me to make interactive data viz. Working there was my dream job. Even after leaving for a different dream, I relied on their reporting and analysis frequently. FiveThirtyEight was full of immensely talented, kind-hearted people. I learned so much there. 💔

Hi Rachel! I'm the early career director at DVS! Feel free to DM me with a time that suits you best and I'll do my best to incorporate that into our February planning! Unfortunately, our other coworking session this month, on Jan. 28, would be at 5am MT which is probably too early!

BTS #dataviz 🧵: multiple chart versions for a 2021 story on “dead money” in college sports, showing totals by sport and conference. 📊

My first try was this. Visually compelling, but maybe more complex than our gen-pop ESPN audience is used to seeing.
