David McCandless

I'm a London-based author, data-journalist and information designer, working across print, advertising, TV and web. My book and blog Information Is Beautiful is dedicated to visualising ideas, issues, knowledge and data. All powered by my passion for discovering new patterns and stories in the seas of data swamping and surrounding us. My information design work has appeared in hundreds of publications internationally and online including The Guardian, Wired, and the BBC. I’ve also worked on visualisation projects for Google, Apple, Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I've had pieces exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at Tate Britain. Love science. Journalism. Truth and beauty. The story beneath the story. And all things strange and interesting.
