I explore data and ideas using code. On this page you can see the projects I’ve worked on.

Garmin Watchface Design & Development
I design and develop my own Garmin watch faces. My first design has over 5K downloads and 50+ five-star reviews! The design is inspired on the sci-fi book Snow Crash and was developed using the Garmin Connect IQ SDK. Read more about my watchfaces.
Scrollytelling data stories
Avicii Project: a data story
My Avicii Open Data Art project, as listed above, is a project I keep coming back to. When I learned about scrollytelling with scrollama.js, I just had to develop a scrollytelling data story about it.
You can read it here (desktop design only) and look at the related git repo here.
Google’s view on heaven
An exploratory data story about the difference in sentiment in heaven and Heaven according to Google. Data analysed using the Google Natural Language API, visualised using d3.js and scrollama.js.
Data Storytelling with LionRock Maritime
Using data storytelling, I developed a webpage for LionRock Maritime that helps them explain their product to potential clients. The page uses a scrollytelling setup based on scrollama.js and d3.js.
Other projects
