Data-driven story teller




About

I am head of data science and insights at MindFolio an innovation and analytics consultancy based in the UK.

My role is to take complex consumer and big data, and craft it into stories to help managers make more informed business decisions. To create these compelling data-driven narratives I use tools such as R Shiny.

Prior to joining MindFolio, I gained a PhD from the University of Zurich, where I focussed on behavioural decision-making.

Projects

From creating a unique bespoke survey platform to a tool to analyse community health, I have worked on a range of development-led data projects, bringing a unique perspective on how data is presented/used



You can find an example of one of my creations here (works best on desktop) - a big data app which uses over 20 variables across London wards to get an understanding of community health. You can read more about the tool in this article for TechUK here.

Using my background in behavioural science, I have also helped innovate and develop MindFolio’s Place Attachment insights system. This tool combines allows us to measure people’s emotional connections to a place and where improvements are needed to help create more wholesome communities. You can find more details here.
