📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

Very excited to talk at the @beyondtellerrand.com birthday party! 🎉 I'll be showing a very deep (and a bit messy) dive into what goes into creating the biggest #dataviz project I've ever made. Hand drawn sketches, useless charts, a pinch of live-coding a nest of eggs + more Hope to see you there!

So cool to have @nadiehbremer.com back at a #btconf event. Come and elebrate 15 years of BT with us and see her speak. beyondtellerrand.com/events/berli...

This has been the biggest project I've ever worked on, 6 months nearly full time (with fantastic story and writing help by Emily Barone ♥️) and I'd love to be able to have it win because (you think) it's worth it (and to show that one/two persons can go up against big companies such as CNN ;) )

To quote my past self ;) "This is probably my favorite book in terms of teaching you the best practices of data visualization. … No matter what you use to visualize your data with, this book is for you." Now available as a very affordable e-book 👇

📊 My and @jhilden.bsky.social’s book has been out of print for some time, as our publisher closed down its general publishing arm. We are working on a 2nd edition, but it is not going to be ready anytime soon, so we’re making the current edition available as an e-book for €9.90. payhip.com/b/zbl43

I think peers in the dataviz world will back me in saying that Nadieh's work blows our mind (she even made one for LOTR fans^^). It's AMAZING, so creative and ingenious! This one ⬇️ is just magical and wonderful ❤️❤️ I recommend everyone check this out!!

Nadieh Bremer@nadiehbremer.com

I want to give a big, big thank you to Emily Barone for her enormous help in finding the story within the mountain of data and plots I buried myself in at the start of this project and writing a fantastic story 🙌

And another big thank you to @simonrogers.bsky.social and @albertocairo.com for their unwavering support and enthusiasm and making it possible for Google Trends to sponsor this piece 🙏

Full of custom, interactive visuals (a giant nest, a giant egg, the US made up of eggs!) to explore people’s experience with birds. It’s full of insights, funny outliers and visuals you can lose yourself in trying to explore all that the vast amount of bird data has to offer.

If you enjoy data, visuals, photos of adorable birds or just neat internet things, please check it out, and please share it onward if you enjoyed it! 🐦 (as I'm self-publishing this I could really _really_ use your help to spread the word, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏)

After several months of analysis, design, drawing, writing, and coding (and a little bit of birdwatching), it turned into a fully dataviz-driven, vibrant, whimsical and fun interactive story for birders and anybody even remotely interested in birds 🦉

Big New Project Release! 📣 I'm very excited to share this long-form highly interactive data (visualization)-driven article on Neglected Tropical Diseases that I worked on for The END Fund. It takes a deep dive into NTDs and the millions of people affected every day 👉 endfund.org/visualizing-...

Progress is being made. An international coalition of national and local governments, philanthropic donors, community leaders, and private sector partners have made incredible progress against these diseases. 58 countries have officially eliminated at least one NTD!

endfund.orgVisualizing Neglect - The END FundNTDs threaten 1.5 billion people globally. Explore 20 years of data on 6 neglected tropical diseases across 31 countries—and the progress toward elimination.

30 Jan

Read more about what the six NTDs highlighted in this story are, how they affect people, the current state of NTDs in the world, its history and what is being done to END them once and for all: endfund.org/visualizing-...

Today is World NTD Day, and this article celebrates the quiet, historic progress made against neglected tropical diseases through a first-of-its-kind neglected tropical disease data visualization.

30 Jan

Using a combination of UN and WHO open-source data, alongside data by The END Fund, "Visualizing Neglect" spotlights why missing data tells a story of those most impacted by NTDs. Often women and marginalized groups, some of the most impoverished groups in the world, pay the price for this neglect.

Congrats to @nadiehbremer.com on her successful launch at Outlier yesterday! I can't wait to see more people fall in love with this book. From seeing the mock ups to holding it in my hand, I don't think this book could have come out any more beautiful.

11 June 2025

I just had my virtual book launch for CHART at Outlier!! ✨😃 (together with @datacitron.bsky.social who did the whole layout design)

Neil Richards@questionsindataviz.com

It’s the chART virtual book launch at #outlier2025 - here’s @nadiehbremer.com and @juliebrunet.bsky.social appearing remotely, with @zanewolf.bsky.social proudly displaying the real book! Can’t wait to get hold of my copy (frustratingly 3000 miles away from me at home right now!)

ICYMI but "CHART: Designing Creative Data Visualizations from Charts to Art" is officially released and I'm having a virtual launch party tomorrow at Outlier conference 🎉 Come join me tomorrow at June 11th, at 09:30 PST / 12:30PM EDT / 18:30 CEST! 😃 🧵👇

As I do not yet have my own copy of the book, in case any of you have received it already, I would LOVE it if you could send me some photos of how it looks, so I can share these during the party as well! 🤗 Hopefully see you tomorrow!

10 June 2025

(PS: If you've ordered via Amazon longer than 2-3 days ago, you probably got a print-on-demand incorrect version of the book, probably in black and white. I'll also talk about this, but in short, you'll want to order a replacement, as the one you have is "defective")

As CHART began as a keynote talk for Outlier conference in 2023, it felt fitting to have a little (virtual) launch party as Outlier is happing this week as well.

10 June 2025

I'll show you more from the book's inside, talk about the different lessons, and Julie Brunet will make a guest appearance and show never-before-seen works in progress on the design of the book. And you're free to ask questions of course!
