Claire Nyquist
I build interactive data visualizations about health.
I have a Master of Public Health (University of Minnesota), a degree in graphic communication design (University of Westminster, First Class Honors), and expertise in R, Python, JavaScript, and D3.
I've worked in public health consulting at ICF, vaccine distribution at the Minnesota Department of Health, and rapid diagnostic development at the University of Minnesota. I also founded tcplot, the Twin Cities data visualization community.

I founded and organize tcplot, a meetup for the Twin Cities creative coding and data visualization community. If you're local and you make charts, come say hi.
