Visual and video journalist creating data-driven stories.

Hey there! My name's Tom.

After leading large production teams on award-winning projects for agencies I created an independent journalism studio to publish visual data-driven stories. I was awarded a data journalism grant by the Pulitzer Center and a scholarship for Columbia School of Journalism’s Lede program. After a year of working independently I've recently begun working as a visual journalist for the Swiss newspaper 20 Minutes.

I believe graphics are essential for impactful journalism, making complex topics more accessible to large audiences. My passion is at the intersection of video (my background is in documentary filmmaking) and visuals.

Studio

I run a production studio that helps independent investigative media communicate complex stories by transforming their research or data into visual content.

This is done by combining elements of journalism, design and creative technology to turn complex data and information into beautiful and memorable graphics for broad audiences.

Blog

I curate inspiration, insights and resources for data-driven storytelling on this blog. Featuring projects that humanize complex stories by combining media, data, design and technology.

In pursuit of better visuals I regularly interview experts about the tools and processes they use.
