Kantar's MotiveMix

Kantar Consulting reached out to me to help them visualize their MotiveMix dataset. This dataset looks at American consumers along 12 “attitudinal dimensions”, such as Tech Disposition, Environmentalism, Cultural Connection, and more, to better understand what is important to consumers in the counties across the US. I created two very different pieces for this project. One being a large static poster that looks at each dimension per US state to see which states show interesting behaviors (e.g. different from most other states). The other was an animation that reveals how counties could show very similar values for the attitudinal dimensions, even though they are from completely different parts of the US, thereby transcending the typical geographic proximity that more traditional analysis tend to focus on.

Frontex: EU’s Deportation Machine

Lighthouse reports was working together with news organizations across Europe to reveal that a massive deportation machine, Frontex, has grown up in Europe in the last decade. Through “Freedom of Information” requests they had gotten information about each Frontex flight that send deportees back home. They asked me to create an animation that would reveal the enormous growth of these deportation flights in the last few years, and reveal the surge in budgets that Frontex now gets to work with, matching the political appetite for forced returns.
