Visualizing Water
A case study tracing the evolution of water and ocean imagery, analyzing its influence on public understanding and policy, and proposing a new approach to designing visual tools that are more inclusive, accurate, and empowering.
This portfolio showcases my skillset in data visualization and data analytics, with a focus on front-end interface design, environmental data storytelling, and spatial analysis.
