Our featured information designer for this week’s Portfolio is Tiffany Farrant-Gonzalez, an information designer and geek based in Bath, UK, and another long-time supporter of Visual Loop.

(Tiffany Farrant-Gonzalez, our Portfolio of the Week )

After graduating 3 years ago from the University of Leeds with a first class degree in New Media and a minor in Japanese, she was hired straightaway as a designer for a start-up based in Bristol, UK where she fell into the role of an information designer quite accidentally. It was a job she never knew existed, but with her passion for both design and numbers (she’s a bit of a maths and science nerd) it suited her perfectly. She then went on to research, analyse data and design for literally hundreds of infographics covering a wide range of topics for a number of online and print publications.

Since then she has freelanced for a number of organisations including Fast Company and Column Five and is now currently the information design director at JESS3, where her day job consists of turning reams of data into beautiful visual stories and data visualisations for a wide variety of clients including Google, American Express, Microsoft and Samsung.

She has recently had work published in Information Graphics by Taschen and IdN Extra 07 – Designing Data, and co-hosted a JESS3 workshop on information design at UX Week 2012.
