Our Guest: Gabrielle Merite

Gabrielle Merite. Proper noun. Scientist-Turned-Designer powered by plants and activism.

She is not: a graphic designer with 30+ years experience or qualified in fine arts. She is: a Science graduate, creative, analyst, advocate for humanity, cat lady and feeling awkward writing this at the third person.

I specialize in provocative imagery that ignites imagination, inspires and sometimes shocks. Deeply passionate about social justice and our responsibility as humans to be there for one another, I choose to communicates analytic findings with honesty, rawness and compassion. My mission is simple. To help ethically-driven organisations uncover important truths and share stories with intention.

In my work, the faces behind behind the figures matter. In places where numbers are usually found, I use faces. Because subjects aren't dots. Quite often, they're people. Like you (and me).

Offering a collaborative approach, I become a member of your team, breathing life into numbers so your audience truly *feels* their importance.

Shownotes

Guest: Allen Hillary

Allen is a data storyteller who's passionate about building community and curating articles that highlight the importance of data narratives. He has spent 20 years in Fortune 500 companies using data analysis and analytics to help sales and marketing leaders make informed decisions. What he's learned is that numbers alone are not memorable and managers are not making decisions solely based on them. Empathy and communication are key in getting the work done. Allen created Data Heroes to spotlight notable figures who used data to make an impact on society. In reading these stories it's his goal to inspire others to appreciate the art of telling their own.

Data Stories is planning to launch Community Training Boot camps for educators later this fall. The boot camps will be a weekend session where educators can bring storytelling into their classroom and have a new way of showing my students how to look at the world that is inclusive, empathetic, and utilizes technology and data. More details to come but we're definitely looking for those interested for our first cohort. Contact me at [email protected]
