Google Data Commons

Data Commons is an open-source initiative by Google that unifies thousands of public datasets — from the US Census, World Bank, CDC, and NOAA — into a single normalized knowledge graph, making complex statistical data accessible to researchers, journalists, and policymakers.

Overview

My work is to contribute across design and engineering on the platform's front-end, working closely with the design and engineering team to build and refine the component library, normalize the visual language across surfaces, and implement interaction patterns that made high-density data legible at scale. Work spanned UX design, component development and bug crushing.
