Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design

Is a freelance data visualisation specialist based in Yorkshire, UK. He discovered data visualisation in early 2007, and it became his Master’s (MA) degree research proposal, giving him the opportunity to unlock and secure his passion for the subject.

He launched visualisingdata.com to continue the process of discovery and to chart the course of the increasing popularity of the subject. Over time, this award-winning site has grown to become a popular reference for followers of the field, offering contemporary discourse, design techniques, and vast collections of visualisation examples and resources.
