In this role, information designers create data visualizations based on weekly theme blocks and daily changing prompts, which are then published on social media - a wonderful opportunity to design challenging diagrams, try out new tools and exchange ideas in a creative network.

Doors closed - doors open!
Time to move on – after 1 year in the Las Comadres studio cooperative, I close the door and thank everyone for the fantastic, magical, wonderful, lovable, colorful, shimmering golden time.
But as they say, when one door closes, other doors open - I remain loyal to the old town and will continue to tell life stories with smART data and transform data into images, create portraits from numbers and diagrams and combine art and science in my work.
Keep your eyes peeled and see what's happening this year – I'm looking forward to it!
