David Belson - Visualizations

Enabling users to tell and share their own data-driven stories through intuitive data visualizations increases the reach and value of that data to a broader audience. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I helped define and design the visualizations shown below. In some cases, I used the output in my written work. Unfortunately, many of these visualizations/tools are no longer available.
