Basel, Basel, Switzerland
With over 14 years as director at Superdot, I focus on creating innovative data visualization and information design solutions that make complex topics accessible and engaging. My work integrates user experience design principles with a passion for clarity in content presentation, driving impactful and comprehensible designs. As the co-author of "Visualizing Complexity: Modular Information Design," I bring my experience to the intersection of design, data curation, communication, and system development. I am committed to empowering others by sharing methodologies for visualizing complexity and teaching science communication in collaboration with Universität Basel.
How can you turn dry statistics into attractive and informative graphs? How can you present complex data sets in an easily understandable way? How can you create narrative diagrams from unstructured data? This handbook of information design answers these questions. Nicole Lachenmeier and Darjan Hil condense their extensive professional experience into an illustrated guide that offers a modular design system comprised of 80 elements. Their systematic design methodology makes it possible for anyone to visualize complex data attractively and using different perspectives. At the intersection of design, journalism, communication and data science, Visualizing Complexity opens up new ways of working with abstract data and invites readers to try their hands at information design.
We are Superdot from Basel. Our passion is to make complex issues understandable with innovative and attractive information design and data experience design.
Together with Nicole Lachenmeier and Mata Rui, we teach in the Master's programme: Psychology. This course is designed to provide students with essential skills for communicating science. It covers both theoretical principles and practical strategies for effectively communicating psychological science to different target groups.
ON DATA AND DESIGN is a new event series hosted over meetup. The events take place in Basel, Berlin and Vienna. At these meetups we loosely explore themes sitting in the overlap between data and design: data visualization, storytelling, information design, visual analysis, data science, infographics and more. We will exchange insights into our working practices, tools and cultures. (scrum, human-centred design, design thinking, service design and more) Each meetup features two guest speakers, presenting practical reports from their projects, other cool insights and inspiration.

Lecturer DataLab in BA Data Design and Art ● Data is an important source of knowledge and forward-looking decisions. But they only reveal their value when they are critically interpreted, intelligently linked, visually prepared and successfully communicated. Whether it's the creative industries, companies or NGOs, agencies, research or cultural institutions - specialists are needed everywhere who can make data usable and use it to tell stories that move people. This BA is unique in Europe for teaching the next generation of DataViz experts.
Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Data Visualization ● The CAS Data Visualization will provide you with the theory, methods, and practice for developing and designing information graphics and data visualizations.
