Hi, I’m Erin, and I make stuff with data. 

Some FAQ about me:

• I am currently a data viz journalist at Axios
• I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon
• I use she/her pronouns. 
• Almost all of my work is done in R–from data collection and analysis through visualization. I usually add in text, headers, and legends in AI/PS. I rely heavily on the tidyverse (especially ggplot and dplyr) and the sf package for mapping.
• My biggest hot tips for learning data visualization are: start much much smaller than you think you need to, Google every step of the way, and emulate designers that inspire you.
• I am open for freelancing! (evenings and weekends)
