Truth & Beauty — Moritz Stefaner, independent data visualization designer and consultant
What I do
Hi. My name is Moritz Stefaner.
I live and breathe data visualization —
as an independent designer and consultant.
I help organizations, researchers and businesses to
find truth and beauty in relevant and meaningful data.
How could we work together? Let me know!

BikeNetKit
Can open-source data tools accelerate the green transition of European cities? BikeNetKit presents a suite of tools to grow, link and fix bicycle networks, based on cutting-edge research algorithms. The website features five interactive maps with precomputed results for 412 European cities, made for planners, cycling advocates and anyone who wants to argue for a better bike network in their town.
Underground Science. Underground Stories.
At the Narrative Change Summit of the Climate Film Festival during NYC Climate Week, I joined a session convened by SPUN on why data alone so rarely moves people, and what makes science stick. I showed how we turned SPUN's maps of underground fungal networks into A Hidden Infrastructure, then talked science storytelling with Toby Kiers (SPUN), Alessandra Yupanqui (Sapiens) and Willow Defebaugh (Atmos), moderated by Mandy Nguyen.

Together with Enrico Bertini, I appeared in a special two-part episode of Andy Kirk's Explore Explain series. We each shared five significant visualization-related works by others that have most influenced our thinking about data visualization, plus a selection from our own work that has been significant to our careers. Watch part 1 and part 2.
