When the ground shook in Venezuela
Two earthquakes, 38 seconds apart. As the news broke, I built a set of live maps overnight — a guided walk through the doublet, a look at where the damage likely fell, and a map of how AP mobilized to cover it.
A small archive of design, illustration, motion graphics, data visualization and interactive work I'm proud of.
Two earthquakes, 38 seconds apart. As the news broke, I built a set of live maps overnight — a guided walk through the doublet, a look at where the damage likely fell, and a map of how AP mobilized to cover it.
Visual design, motion graphics, and two fully produced videos for AP's investigation into surveillance technology built in Silicon Valley and deployed against Uyghurs in China and migrants at the U.S. border.
Using NASA satellite data, I produced original maps visualizing the 2026 Cuban blackout from the last available imagery — a technique mirrored by several outlets in the days that followed.
Awarded the 2023 Pulitzer Prize, with the companion documentary — produced in collaboration with PBS Frontline — winning the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. From Xerox copies of architectural plans recovered by reporters in the field, I built a 3D reconstruction of the theatre. With colleagues, we then used the model to develop a methodology for calculating the true death toll.
Using the oldest known humpback whale recordings alongside contemporary recordings collected by researchers, I built an interactive comparing frequency and chromatic value — a way to hear and see how humpback songs have changed over time.
A selection of interactive maps built for AP — combining live data feeds, geospatial reporting, and editorial cartography.
With anonymity essential and conventional photography off the table, I built a 3D illustration technique from first-hand accounts of Russian deserters — a visual language for stories that couldn't otherwise be shown.

Millions of saltwater fish are caught in Indonesia and other countries to fill aquariums around the world. The trade is difficult to regulate with murky rules on how fish go from ocean to tank.

To work around newsroom bottlenecks — and at the request of colleagues looking for more direct control over how their stories were presented — I built a suite of no-code, CMS-friendly web presentation tools. They're now used by many AP journalists to finalize their work.
