I want to give a big, big thank you to Emily Barone for her enormous help in finding the story within the mountain of data and plots I buried myself in at the start of this project and writing a fantastic story 🙌

2111

If you enjoy data, visuals, photos of adorable birds or just neat internet things, please check it out, and please share it onward if you enjoyed it! 🐦 (as I'm self-publishing this I could really _really_ use your help to spread the word, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏)

Full of custom, interactive visuals (a giant nest, a giant egg, the US made up of eggs!) to explore people’s experience with birds. It’s full of insights, funny outliers and visuals you can lose yourself in trying to explore all that the vast amount of bird data has to offer.

2134

After several months of analysis, design, drawing, writing, and coding (and a little bit of birdwatching), it turned into a fully dataviz-driven, vibrant, whimsical and fun interactive story for birders and anybody even remotely interested in birds 🦉

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

Progress is being made. An international coalition of national and local governments, philanthropic donors, community leaders, and private sector partners have made incredible progress against these diseases. 58 countries have officially eliminated at least one NTD!

140

Using a combination of UN and WHO open-source data, alongside data by The END Fund, "Visualizing Neglect" spotlights why missing data tells a story of those most impacted by NTDs. Often women and marginalized groups, some of the most impoverished groups in the world, pay the price for this neglect.

Today is World NTD Day, and this article celebrates the quiet, historic progress made against neglected tropical diseases through a first-of-its-kind neglected tropical disease data visualization.

Big New Project Release! 📣 I'm very excited to share this long-form highly interactive data (visualization)-driven article on Neglected Tropical Diseases that I worked on for The END Fund. It takes a deep dive into NTDs and the millions of people affected every day 👉 endfund.org/visualizing-...

🎉 New work! Two large-scale data artworks (3×4 m each!) to fit entire walls. Abstract, water-inspired spirals showing past + future energy use (2000–2050) and maritime energy demand. Colored streams = energy types, stream density = usage. 👉 Details + legend: www.visualcinnamon.com/art/dnv-wall...

Just stumbled across this wonderful FREE book on "Engineers of Map Art" documenting over a decade of cartography at ETH Zurich. A quick scroll shows amazing maps 😍 👉 ebook: www.research-collection.ethz.ch/entities/pub... 👉 physical copy: karto.ethz.ch/en/publicati... Have fun reading!

Had a great time talking with Jon Schwabish from the PolicyViz Podcast about my new book CHART 😃 We talked about a lot different dataviz topics. From straightforward charts to data art. My design process, the importance of sketching, and my client work. Listen to it here: zencastr.com/z/m5zj5cnD

Anybody else going to the "Information Design Conference" this Friday? I have some copies of my book CHART left that I can bring in case anybody would like to buy a copy? (€35) I can sign it right there for you as a bonus 😉

📣 NEW WORK! Excited to share my latest work with the Publications Office of the European Union 🇪🇺 I got to create 9 dataviz for 3 of the EU's monthly Data Stories, covering fascinating topics, from leisure, health and the future. See all the visuals here: www.visualcinnamon.com/portfolio/eu...

Heading into the @datawrapper.de DataViz Book Club notes. If you have any questions about CHART, feel free to join and post them there in the next 30-45mins :) notes.dw.tools/p/chart

Nadieh Bremer @nadiehbremer.com · 15/08/2025

The DataViz Book Club will be discussing my book CHART on Monday! 🙌 In written-only style, so you can discuss at your own pace ^_^ I'll be there as well toward the end to answer any questions posted. Come join me! 😃 www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-n... 📅 Monday, August 18th at 6pm CEST/noon ET

As I do not yet have my own copy of the book, in case any of you have received it already, I would LOVE it if you could send me some photos of how it looks, so I can share these during the party as well! 🤗 Hopefully see you tomorrow!

100

I'll show you more from the book's inside, talk about the different lessons, and Julie Brunet will make a guest appearance and show never-before-seen works in progress on the design of the book. And you're free to ask questions of course!

As CHART began as a keynote talk for Outlier conference in 2023, it felt fitting to have a little (virtual) launch party as Outlier is happing this week as well.

Nadieh Bremer @nadiehbremer.com · 24/04/2025

ICYMI but "CHART: Designing Creative Data Visualizations from Charts to Art" is officially released and I'm having a virtual launch party tomorrow at Outlier conference 🎉 Come join me tomorrow at June 11th, at 09:30 PST / 12:30PM EDT / 18:30 CEST! 😃 🧵👇

📣 NEW WORK! Making the invisible visible. I'm thrilled to share the data art system I created for the Environmental Defense Fund that reveals how much methane was added to the atmosphere for each year that you've been alive. Create your personal Methane circle: timeforch4nge.org/methane-circ...

Nadieh Bremer @nadiehbremer.com · 02/04/2025

It’s #TimeForCH4nge ✨ Excited to speak at the launch of the European Civil Society Observatory on Methane on 7 April and show you the new data art system I created! Exploring how data, science & art can drive action to cut methane & slow #GlobalWarming 🔗 Register timeforch4nge.splashthat.com

Nadieh Bremer @nadiehbremer.com · 25/03/2025

NEW WORK! ✨ I got to create this 2-page spread for an article in @sciam.bsky.social on the puzzling lack of worlds outside our solar system in a certain size range; the "Radius Gap." Visualizing several hundred exoplanets as a polar plot + contours. www.scientificamerican.com/article/exop...

Working on a new project where I want to take these rings and make them flow together a bit as if each ring is made from gas & interacts (along its edges) with the next ring(s) Now starting an hour-long Fluid Simulation video by The Coding Train 😃💪 Any info is appreciated! 🙏

For this project, I collaborated with Mozilla Builders & Adam Bouhenguel, the creator of ORCA (Open Retrospective Compensation Agreement). ORCA enables businesses to share a portion of their revenue with contributors of the open-source projects they rely on: future.mozilla.org/projects/ope...

Nadieh Bremer @nadiehbremer.com · 31/01/2025

This visual shows how contributors deeply involved in one repository often play key roles in other important projects. By awarding ORCA benefits (next post) to these impactful contributors, the hope is to create a ripple effect. Giving them the time to improve even more open-source projects. 🧵👇

📣 NEW WORK - Part II! 📣 Another GitHub-focused visualization. This time revealing the top contributors to any repository and the other projects they’ve worked on, highlighting synergies across repos: nbremer.github.io/ORCA/top-con... 🧵👇

1163

My latest project lets you explore the entire commit history of any GitHub repo ✨ Obviously, D3.js was one of the 1st repos I tested. You can clearly see the 3000+ commits made by its creator @ocks.org! But also @fil.rezo.net & many others. nbremer.github.io/ORCA/commit-...

311625

Mozilla naturally wanted this project to become open, and thus, I tried my best to create an algorithm that works for any GitHub repository (e.g., this is how it looks for d3: nbremer.github.io/ORCA/commit-...) The code + docs for this visualization can be found here: github.com/nbremer/ORCA...

160

The example repository used reveals how all contributors have had a hand in shaping PDF.js, but shines a little spotlight on the work of Jonas Jenwald and Tim van der Meij, who Mozilla has awarded ORCA funding for their contribution to PDF.js 🙌
