Data visualisation challenges
I use a combination of R, Python, ObservableJS, D3.js, Tableau, rawgraphs, Inkscape, and Figma for creating data visualisations. A sample of my personal projects can be found below.
TidyTuesday
TidyTuesday is a weekly data challenge aimed at the R community. Every week a new dataset is posted alongside a chart or article related to that dataset, and ask participants explore the data. You can access the data and find out more here.
Below is a selection of my contributions to the TidyTuesday challenge. All contributions and the code used to generate them can be found on GitHub. You can also browse through all contributions using this dashboard.

Plotnine contest
Plotnine is a visualisation library that brings the Grammar of Graphics to Python, and the 2024 Plotnine Contest aims to bring the community together to create and share with others great plotnine examples. You can read the blog post about how I created this annotated area chart for my entry into the Plotnine contest. This visualisation was a runner up in the Plotnine contest.
