Poster featuring a photo of the speaker alongside her quote. The text reads: "How did your journey into Information Design lead you to the IIBA? 'I wanted to do work that felt more meaningful, which led me to the Information Design program at the Berlin University of the Arts, which truly changed everything for me. I found something I love. Submitting my project to the Information is Beautiful Awards was a way to share my work more widely, to reach people beyond my immediate circle, and to connect with an international community of designers who inspire me.'”

Poster featuring a photo of the speaker alongside her quote. The text reads: “What drew you to the Information is Beautiful Awards? ‘Data visualization is something I have always been interested in. As a kid, I was obsessed with infographics. I still have my copy of the Visual Miscellaneum, one of the various data-vis books I cherished back before I knew I would be creating the same type of work. It's a full circle moment for me, seeing Information is Beautiful credited at the back of this book from my childhood after making the shortlist for the IIB Awards.’”
