Hi! I’m Nadieh Bremer, a freelancing dataviz designer (under Visual
Cinnamon), focusing on the more “creative” side of visualization &
one half of the dataviz collab “data sketches”. Ask Me Anything!
Abstract
Hi fellow dataviz enthusiasts! My name is Nadieh Bremer and these days I
freelance as a data visualization designer, under the name of Visual
Cinnamon. Since July of 2016 I’ve been doing a personal collaboration
with Shirley Wu called data sketches, creating an elaborate
visualization ±each month, during which I created works about the words
spoken in the LotR movies, all Olympic gold medal winners, the fights in
Dragon Ball Z, a “breathing” Earth and more. In 2011 I graduated as an
Astronomer (still very much drawn towards the subject, either in data
such as in this exoplanet visual and HR-diagram, or in design elements,
such as in Royal Constellations). I then became a Data Scientist for
Deloitte Consulting where I gradually discovered my passion for the
visualization of data (and Self-Organizing Maps), making complex things
accesible to non-experts. From December 2014 I finally decided to go
heads-on into data visualization, and started freelancing in 2017. I
find myself focusing on making non-standard visualizations that convey a
lot of information, so people can also find their own stories beyond the
general point the visual wants to make, while also being visually
appealing to draw people in. But I also like to experiment with web
techniques that haven’t quite found their way into dataviz, such as the
gooey effect and other experiments And finally, I enjoy diving into the
world of data-art every now and then with works such as The art in pi &
Marble butterflies I’ll be back at 18:00 CET / 9:00am PST to answer your
questions (proof that it’s me)! Update: Here now and answering
questions! Update: And done! All questions answered, thanks for tuning
in, hope some of the answers were helpful
