Charts & Chats
Data journalists, information designers, and visual storytellers in Kolkata – swing by Artsy, Coffee & Culture in Bhowanipore for a casual networking session on Saturday, July 25.
What's the plan?
Let's have a caffeinated chatter about the charts, dashboards, and visuals that make our brains happy (or occasionally break them).
Feel free to bring your weirdest dataviz opinions, your favourite chart fails, or just a curiosity about how other people turn spreadsheets into stories, pixels into arguments and numbers into knowledge.
Who am I?
I am an award-winning Information Experience Designer from India, working at the intersection of design, code, and journalism at Reuters in London. With a background in engineering and design, I craft data-driven pieces that visually narrate important stories and solve problems in an aesthetically engaging way. Outside the newsroom, I write and perform poetry and comedy, and dabble in generative art, photography, and zine-making. I co-host a creative coding meetup in London (https://www.creativecodingcrafts.space/) that brings together artists, technologists, and enthusiasts. I also teach and speak on data visualisation, design, and narrative cartography at leading institutions across India.
