Complicated data has always been my passion. In 2007, with the filing of Artyom Gorbunov, I read all the books of Taft and discovered information design for myself. The first visualization -
passenger traffic in the subway - became for me a happy ticket to the bureau, at the same time the pseudonym Infotanka appeared. Since then, I have been working on a
tiger calendar and bureaucratic infograms, a Web Observer mobile application with statistics on violations and an informative logo, clever marketing charts for
Zeptolab , interfaces
Oh my stats! .

In June of this year, I finally decided to devote myself to what I can do best - data visualization. So there was a
laboratory .

I love high-quality informative and entertaining infographics. But visualization is also a powerful tool for working with complex data and solving analytical problems. Large companies track many business indicators, but do not know how to benefit from them. Transport analysts are overwhelmed with numbers, but do not see the big picture, problem areas and possible solutions. In scientific articles, the essence of the research is lost for dozens of graphs and diagrams. These and other problems are solved by the thought over visualization.
Unfortunately, few people know about it. Often, when companies encounter complex data, they do not realize that there is a “designer” solution. Therefore, I devote a lot of time and energy to educating the masses: I speak at conferences, organize master classes and prepare a practical training course, on Thursdays I give
advice on data visualization on the Gorbunov bureau website, and once a month I spend live tips in Kovorkafe. And now, thanks to
Lesha boomburum and the Habr team, I will write about laboratory work here.
The laboratory is full of life: we are creating unusual and extremely effective ways of presenting information for marathoners, marketers, remote teams, transport analysts, honest politicians, cycle lovers and other guys. In Habrablog, I will analyze laboratory projects in detail, talk about the team and work organization, announce conference presentations, live advice and training courses, post videos from past events.
Advise, ask, criticize! I would be happy to receive feedback from the respected habravchan :-)
