Mona Chalabi on data visualisations, privilege and not giving advice

On Design with Justyna Green

Mona Chalabi is a total inspiration. She’s a data journalist as well as a writer, artist, producer and presenter. In our conversation she shares how she started creating the data visualisations she’s so well known for, why making data pretty matters and how data can be used as a language. She also shares her thoughts on nepobabies and on not giving advice. It's a rich, honest and bold conversation.
