ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Information designer Giorgia Lupi is the co-author of Dear Data, an aspirational hand-drawn data visualization journal that explores details of daily life through data, and a partner at Pentagram advocating for data humanism. Lupi believes there are stories found within our data, and challenges the impersonality of data, designing engaging visual narratives that reconnect numbers to what they stand for: people and their ideas and stories.
Lupi was born in Italy and received her master’s degree in architecture at Facoltà di Architettura at Università di Ferrara and her Doctorate in Design at Politecnico di Milano, where she focused on information mapping. In 2011, she co-founded Accurat, an acclaimed data-driven research, design and innovation firm with offices in Milan and New York..
She has been named One of “Fast Company’s” 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2018, and featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Washington Post, NPR, CBC, BBC, Time magazine, Business Insider, Forbes, and her TED Talk on her humanistic approach to data has over one million views.
