I was the first design hire and lead designer at OmniSci (formerly MapD), a Google Ventures GPU database startup. There I designed a modern data visualization platform that simplifies the complex task of configuring dashboards.
In the competitive landscape of data visualization platforms, MapD needed innovative design to differentiate itself from the rest of the pack.
The key was to leapfrog the current industry standard, which is mired in decades of corporate application design, with its obtuse visual language and steep learning curve.
So I created new design paradigms with the aim of bringing clarity and simplicity to the complex world of big data exploration.
My philosophy is that interactive data visualization should be more than just a collection of static views. And through the thoughtful use of animation and transitions, my goal is to bring them to life.
