Hi, Iām Simon. I work at the intersection of journalism, design and technology. As a data journalist for the German public broadcaster SWR, I design graphics and tell stories that help people understand complex topics through data.
Previously, I worked as a software engineer for Datawrapper, a datavis tool used by many news organizations around the world (2019ā2023) and as a data journalist for the journalism nonprofit CORRECTIV (2014ā2018). I was also a co-founder and project lead of Datenguide, an open-source initiative aimed at making German official statistics more accessible (2017ā2023).
