Hi! We are Datawrapper.
Datawrapper is a tool created by more than 30 people. We work together to create the best data visualization tool for everyone who wants to show their data in beautiful charts, maps, and tables.
As toolmakers, we share the responsibility for the design
of the charts, maps, and tables our users create.
We think a lot about what makes a good visualization good.
What’s important for our users. And what’s important for those
who will eventually look at their visualizations.
Our
background helps:
We spent many years studying data visualization and working
as practitioners in international newsrooms like The New
York Times, NPR, Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg, Correctiv and
ZEIT Online.
We’ve given dozens (hundreds?) of workshops and talks,
contributed to community discussions through widely shared
blog posts and worked on open source tools and resources that
are being used around the world.
We learned a thing
or two about good visualization design.
Now we want to make our users benefit from these learnings
–
so that they can skip the beginner’s mistakes and create
well-designed charts, maps, and tables.
