Data Visualisation Visual Communication Generative Art

I’m Oli. I’m a data visualisation designer, programmer and musician. I also make generative art. This page is a repository for my data sketches, prototypes, analysis and general musings.

Most of my work is coded in R or p5.js, though I also occasionally use Tableau, Flourish and Raw.
