Epi 108 : Searching for Birds

Award-winning designer Nadieh Bremer drops in this week to chat about her Google Trends project “Searching for Birds.” Nadieh walks through her research process when she’s not a “bird person,” including exploring many public datasets and narrowing the story with writer Emily. She explains how sketching led from feathers to an egg-and-nest metaphor for ranking bird-type searches, why egg colors were stylized, and how she built an egg-shaped Voronoi treemap to step from bird shapes to types to species.https://searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com/00:41 - Meet Nadieh02:07 - Snowy Owl Hook03:22 - Researching Birds05:01 - Egg Nest Metaphor07:04 - Designing Egg Details08:28 - Spark Bird Story10:34 - Voronoi Egg Treemap13:25 - AI Bird Helper15:19 - AI and Dataviz Future18:08 - Sankey Connections19:46 - Waves and Seasonality21:14 - Biggest Challenges22:33 - Why Visualizing Cinnamon----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ℹ️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭?Welcome to "Secrets of the Viz", where I dive deep into the amazing vizzes in #TableauPublic and other #DataVisualization tools.
