About

I’m a journalist, author and musician/sound artist who works creatively with data.

I write and research stories, especially those with a visual component, on science, arts and culture topics. I’ve written articles, reports, and animation scripts, and crafted text for graphics and dashboards. I have co-authored an award-winning science book for children. I work on large data visualisation projects for clients as a researcher, data analyst and editor. I create data-driven artworks and music tracks, and I’m the co-founder of the Loud Numbers studio.

I love finding new and diverse ways to represent data that blend science and art. I’ve helped turn numbers into everything from charts, graphics and books to museum installations, necklaces, engraved 12-inch records and classical fugues.

I’m passionate about using data for social good, and about making accurate, trustworthy information – particularly around environmental, health and social justice – available in plain English.
