Since opening its doors in 2001, Stamen has had the opportunity to work with a variety of companies and organizations to help turn complex information into beautiful works for the public. During this time, we’ve also had the opportunity to work with our fair share of data scientists and specialists of all kinds. These folks become key collaborators on some of our most important projects, yet sometimes their science-driven perspective–grounded in concerns about accuracy and specificity–can clash with ideas around visual storytelling and usability. These differences can become fertile ground for either an argument… or a way forward that neither party had imagined before. In these kinds of scenarios, how can we find common ground and find ways to work together? What can we learn from each other in the process to best inform our practice? This talk will address these questions, drawing from Stamen’s experience with recent real-world projects.
