226: Turning Data into Visual Stories

Our Sponsor:  https://www.prideandlessprejudice.org/events   Our Guest: Gabrielle Merite Gabrielle Merite. Proper noun. Scientist-Turned-Designer powered by plants and activism. She is not: a graphic designer with 30+ years experience or qualified in fine arts. She is: a Science graduate, creative, analyst, advocate for humanity, cat lady and feeling awkward writing this at the third person. I specialize in provocative imagery that ignites imagination, inspires and sometimes shocks. Deeply passionate about social justice and our responsibility as humans to be there for one another, I choose to communicates analytic findings with honesty, rawness and compassion. My mission is simple. To help ethically-driven organisations uncover important truths and share stories with intention. In my work, the faces behind behind the figures matter. In places where numbers are usually found, I use faces. Because subjects aren’t dots. Quite often, they’re people. Like you (and me). Offering a collaborative approach, I become a member of your team, breathing life into numbers so your audience truly *feels* their importance. https://gabriellemerite.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkue1l5OYho&list=PLad95_ux5CXnpkUTzXNhz1b8GCgbi_J9L https://www.gabriellemerite.com/portfolio/
