Video and interactive journalist creating data-driven investigations and reports.

Hey there! My name's Tom.

I've been producing content and interactive experiences for the past decade, relying on creative skills from a documentary filmmaking background with programming expertise in Svelte and D3.

After leading large production teams on award-winning web and video productions I started an independent visual communications studio, where I'm currently working on interactive projects for publishers like NZZ and The Pudding.

I just started a Youtube channel to publish monthly data-driven video investigations.

I received a scholarship to join this year's Lede Program at the Columbia School of Journalism, and completed information design and data visualization studies at Parsons School of Design.

Studio

I run a production studio that helps organisations solve complex communication problems by transforming their research or data into impactful visual content.

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

Past clients include NZZ, The Bureau Investigates, WHO, World Bank, UNDP, Seeds of Peace, Red Bull...

Blog

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

Every once in a while I interview experts and synthesise academic research to distill best practices in knowledge visualization. These learnings are consolidated into the monthly newsletter along with my process notes to help independent journalists create captivating visual investigations that inform broad audiences.
