brings clarity and understanding to complex data

stories and insights


From data stories to news media to graphics for academic papers and annual reports for companies we create insights and data stories for a complex world.

data visualizations


Our bespoke charts and maps are uniquely tailored as powerful tools for analyzing, interpreting, and presenting complex information in a visually engaging manner.

Spike map of the EU. The height and color of the spikes represent the population density at the respective point.
Multiple charts showing the number of beds per 1000 people through the years in the Nordic countries. A bigger chart on the left shows the total number of beds, while 4 smaller on the right show beds by care facility (chronic care, acute care, residential long-term care and residential long term-care over 65 years). The overall trend is a decline of number of beds with a few exceptions in long-term and chronic care facilities.
A cartogram showing the rate of disease burden from depression for all countries in 2019. The bigger the size of the country and the darker the color, the biggest the rate of disease burden is (measured in Disability-Adjusted Life Years)
