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. 💔

There's lots of conversation about weddings during college football season, but I wanted to see if a team's schedule *actually* made a difference in the number of weddings in a region on a date.

Bye weeks? Big games? Home vs. away? SEC vs. everyone else?

A data-driven analysis:

Will you marry me? During the bye week, obviously.
The Washington Post, smitten with football and love stories, analyzed data from The Knot to see how college football schedules impact wedding planning.

Very insightful post at the #a11y (or lack thereof) of U.S. 2024 elections #dataviz. I referenced Sarah’s 2020 review post several times while working on our visuals at Axios, and can already tell the 2024 version will be another reference for me on future visuals.

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.

🧵Okay let's do some BTS for Axios' elections #dataviz.

1/5: We used for our big maps, which means we had to do some tricks with color hashes to get interactivity.

What the reader sees vs. what the computer sees.

Like a true self reporting data illustrator I started tracking the pain in the joints of my hands. I am looking for a relation between my perimenopause/fluctuation in hormones and possible arthritis or arthrosis. Hope it will gain insight and ease my mind a bit (yes I am scared 😔).
