“Searching for Birds” is an interactive data storytelling project created for Google Trends that transforms millions of search queries into a visually rich exploration of how people connect with birds. Combining Google Trends data with various public datasets, I designed a fully bespoke visual language of illustrated birds, playful metaphors, and custom interactive charts that invite users to explore patterns across nearly 700 species. It blends rigorous analysis, crafted illustration, and thoughtful UX to turn complex data into an engaging, memorable experience for both birders and anybody even remotely interested in birds.
