I work as a self-employed designer, programmer and teacher in Berlin, interested in transforming data and information into visual structures while keeping a broad understanding of what a visualisation can be. I believe in a critical and theory-informed approach to data visualisation and design in general. I prefer to work with non-profit organisations, foundations, universities, journalists, and activists with open-source licenses.
Before starting as a freelancer, I was part of the Urban Complexity Lab at the FH Potsdam in the Senses project on the communication of climate change scenarios.
Besides, I regularly teach data journalism and information design at the TU Dortmund and FH Potsdam. In non-Corona times, I also co-organise the Data Visualisation Meetup in Berlin.
With countries targeting net-zero, the transitions pose significant risks. The NGFS scenario portal was created together with the PIK to explain and analyse plausible scenarios to central banks and supervisors.
In this three-year project, we created modules that aim to make climate change scenarios understandable and more accessible. The international consortium consisted of scientists from PIK, IIASA, SEI, WUR and FH;P.
The feature-rich interface allows scientists of the SCPAB to find, explore and compare scientific studies. Each research is aligned by its species lifespan to compare the observed timeframe.
The workshop brought together a group of experts to create a database for the existing and potential risks of consumer IoT. The visualisation helped evaluate, discuss and display the working process.
Together with Paul Heinicker, I created this online collection of resources that maps academic as well as artistic perspectives that reflect digital conditions within materialist discourses.

OpenRefine is a commonly used tool in data visualisation. This guide gives an overview of the main functionalities like inspecting data, clustering, merging and reformatting datasets.
