§ Co-authored publication: Visualising Knowledge: Lessons from 25 years of data visualisation for policymakers

Effective data visualisation at the science-policy interface is more than just making charts look appealing; it is about bridging the gap between complex research and actionable insight. Data visualisation at the science-policy interface is never mere ornament; it is the critical bridge translating raw empirical science into democratic decision-making.

Co-authoring Visualising Knowledge: Lessons from 25 years of data visualisation for policymakers reflects my core approach: combining scientific accuracy with narrative structure and design clarity. By engaging early in the analytical process, I turn intricate spatial and environmental data into accessible stories, interactive visuals, and strategic infographics.

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