I’m a data visualization designer and engineer. I create static and interactive data visualizations, dashboards, and data-driven solutions and tools. My background in Graphic Design (Lviv National Arts Academy, Ukraine) and Computer Science (Lehigh University, USA), combined with over 10 years of experience in web design, development, and data visualization, form the foundation of my professional expertise.

As far as most of my data projects related to the elections I did 16 election observations in 11 countries. Thus, my work has appeared widely in such media as the Washington Post (Monkey Cage Blog), Forbes UA, IFES, VOX Ukraine, Eurasian Geography and Economics, MPSA Conferences, Ukrainian Truth, etc.

Conferences, professional forums, and meetups are a key part of my professional activity. You can find where I’ve been—and where to meet me in the future—below. I also frequently give lectures and presentations for diverse audiences, from students to industry experts. Additionally, I launched the Diagrammm Data Visualization Grammar project, which was shortlisted for the 2018 Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards.
