Data Storytelling
From our phones to our habits, we all create data. However, we don’t always get a say in how it’s given to us.
My goal is to tell data stories in an equitable, accessible, and collaborative way.
Site Context Analysis: Biking Map
About: This transit map illustrates biking infrastructure and bike safety data along a 2~ mile stretch of the San Franscisco I-80 freeway. This was part of a site context analysis for a freeway removal plan in San Francisco. This plan served as the studio project for the UC Berkeley's In[City] urban design summer program.
Results: Determined that biking infrastructure was lacking in the east-to-west direction below Division St., which matched a lack of other public transit options in the area. It was also decided to differentiate between bike lanes and cycle paths, the latter being paths that are separated from motorized traffic and dedicate to cycling or shared with other non-motorized vehicles. This created a more accurate picture of bike safety as streets categorized as bike lanes or bike-friendly streets didn’t offer as much protection for bike riders.
