Top 101 data visualizations worldwide for 2018 Kantar IIB Awards

In an effort to innovate within the field of data visualization, I created a new chart type called the Polyarea chart. I entered this work to the 2018 Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards.

On 12/4/18, I attended the awards ceremony in New York City. Even though I didn't win, I'm honored that my work made the top 101 visualizations worldwide for 2018 and was displayed next to work by FiveThirtyEight, Bloomberg, Reuters, The Guardian, National Geographic, The Economist, Harvard, and many others.

See a video of my work being introduced and photos from the event below. If you'd like to build the chart yourself, I've created posts for D3.js and Tableau.
