Ipsum

[…] Data Visualization Consultant position for WHO/Europe in September of 2021. WHO/Europe was looking for a professional to turn raw technical data into stories and develop data visualizations to illuminate new scientific evidence.

I worked for WHO/Europe for 3 months in a data visualization consultancy, I created animated charts and diagrams to communicate findings from a study by WHO and ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) that estimated that over 470,000 lives had been saved by COVID-19 vaccination – in people over 60 years old – throughout the European Region.

This project has been viewed over 3 million times on social media and was even shared on Twitter by then First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon.

I also created a series of videos with animated graphics to explain the benefits of vaccination and protective measures against COVID-19, as well as an automated software for translating those videos for other countries, like Georgia and Ukraine, achieving around 10 million views across social media.
