Data Doodles

I like doing quick analyses and charts from something interesting I've seen or heard. I'll also be showing some of my experiments with graphics and animation.

I tracked the stock prices of GEO Group and CoreCivic since Trump's election.

Did White House ads help Trump sell watches? I looked at Google searches for Trump watches after the new line was launched.

About Me

I'm a data and graphics journalist based in New York with experience in political, business and climate change reporting. I'm due to graduate with a master's degree in data analysis and visualization from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism in December 2025.

I grew up in Tokyo, Japan, and studied in the U.K. After a short stint covering sports, I reported on Brexit for Japan's biggest business daily The Nikkei and Nikkei Asia in Japanese and English from London.
