Welcome to episode 1 of season 6 of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design.

This episode is taken from a recorded webinar held on 27th January 2025 titled ‘Data Viz Freelancing’ and featuring a panel of guests including:

Julie Brunet - Data Designer and Creative Director for Nightingale Magazine
Tiziana Alocci - Data Artist, Lecturer
Obinna Iwuji - Content and Business Development Manager
Anne-Marie Dufour - Data Visualization Designer & Developer
Vivian Andreozzi - Information Designer and Data Analyst

Steven Nijman, Data Journalist and Storytelling Specialist, was unfortunately unable to join due to illness.

With contributions from the audience we explore the pleasures and pitfalls of working professionally as a freelancer in the data visualisation field. The panellists offer valuable insight about their experiences, motivations, and advice about ways of working, with plenty of tips and tactics along the way. Non-freelancers are always quite intrigued by what freelancers do and, similarly, freelancers are always intrigued by what other freelancers do. In this conversation we try to satisfy both dimensions of interest!

As well as listening to this show, you can watch the video of this conversation. Head over to Youtube and visit the Explore Explain channel.
