Ever wondered "Why are trucks so damn big now?" Me too, so I wrote a story about it. Been working with my partners in crime @JoannMuller and @jared_whalen for over a year on this story full of charts, illos, and 3D scrolly trucks. I hope you like it 🛻axios.com/ford-pickup-trucks…

🤘🎸🎵Tonight is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Since 1986, only 9% of inductees have been women. We crunched the numbers @axios to show how and why the process is so lopsided. From @fleecealeece @ruhlmuk and Troy Smith Read: axios.com/rock-and-roll-hall…

This is “Martin.” At 7:20am he watches TV. At 10:15am he gets groceries. At noon he eats lunch. At 5:10pm he watches more TV. At 8:30pm he goes to bed. “Martin” lives a pretty isolated life. Find out why this matters in our newest piece by @alv9n. pudding.cool/2023/09/invisib…

El Niño, occurring about once every two to seven years, turbocharges the rate of human-caused climate change by releasing substantial heat stored in the deeper oceans and moving it into the atmosphere. Explore its impacts on global weather patterns 👇 trib.al/v54zhns

Really proud of my team for this explainer on El Niño! Most stories like this use abstracted diagrams, which work well, but we wanted to do something different, so we pulled actual data for each of these weather patterns from past El Niño events 🌎 👉axios.com/el-nino-weather-ye…

All the credit to @ruhlmuk for leading the project, design, and dev. @erindataviz for wading through arcane government weather data and somehow turning it into beautiful images. And @afreedma for reporting, words and science expertise

Have you ever wondered how a day in the life of a dataviz designer looks like? ⏰ We got inspired by @visualisingdata's recent blog post, and present you, not one, but four different days. One with each of our mentors ! youtu.be/k-AOXCD0a7g

Good design doesn't always mean ethical design. What should you consider to dataviz responsibly? In our most recent #ElevateShow, we talk about our different experiences and guardrails we use for our work. youtu.be/moCpkFwouH0

An amazing start to what will surely be an excellent investigative series from my colleagues at Axios. Was a pleasure to work on the design for this.

Okinawa, a Japanese island that lies between China and Japan, still has U.S. military bases since the U.S. ended its formal occupation of the island and returned it to Japanese sovereignty in 1972. But many residents want the U.S. military out. axios.com/okinawa-military-b…

was clearly inspired by the @OutlierConf visual metaphor talks latest @AxiosVisuals chart showing the lack of diversity in the interior design field with four data points, it could have been a bar chart. I brainstormed words/concepts from "interior design" and here we are:

🌴 Could palmettos grow in D.C. by the end of the century? For my Climate Lab column, I made a tool that lets you pick from a list of over 900 tree species to see how their ranges are projected to move by the end of the century. Check it out: washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
