Making complex information clear.

As an information designer at the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, I translate complex science and policy-related subjects into clear visualisations.

Focus & Philosophy

visualising knowledge for policy

Data visualisation at the science-policy interface requires more than polished charts. The real goal is to turn complex research into insights that policymakers can actually use.

Co-authoring Visualising Knowledge: Lessons from 25 years of data visualisation for policymakers reflects my core approach: combining scientific accuracy with a clear narrative and strong design. By getting involved early in the analytical process, I help translate intricate spatial and environmental data into accessible stories, interactive visuals, and clear infographics.

Rather than maintaining a static online archive, I keep my latest projects, publications, and professional updates active on my LinkedIn profile.
