Hello, I'm EJ Fox

I love doing data visualization. I'm always looking to tell stories that benefit from the insight dataviz offers. I do both static and interactive pieces, though my passion is in working with big datasets & creating new methods of interacting with data using D3.

I am currently available for freelance infographic design, working with clients to explain and visualize stories and datasets with novel & beautiful visualizations.

I explore new ground with my brilliant colleagues at Mainstem Collective.

I've done infographics on subjects like super-PACs, US prisons, inequality in America, SOPA, and alcohol use, among others ↪.

What I do

I've been influenced by visionaries like Ira Glass and Bret Victor, who push the boundaries of their mediums and storytelling. I want to help find the place for dataviz in long-form exploratory journalism, telling stories that both entertain and expose truth about the world we live in.

For me, this has meant moving from static graphics made in Illustrator to interactive data visualization on the web. Using open web technologies like D3, SVG, HTML, CSS, and jQuery the future of infographics is exciting.

Projects

• Mainstem Collective

  I helped cofound Mainstem Collective, a group of dataviz professionals who work together to pool resources and develop new things. We team up in different combinations to provide the best people and most value for a client's project.

• Tributary

  I help my buddy Ian with his Bret Victor inspired live-coding project Tributary. I help with keeping the frontend usable and envisioning new features.

• D3 Snippets

  A collection of code patterns for creating data visualizations in D3. Each snippet is contained in a simple gist and is editable via Tributary.

• Vulpes Boilerplate

  This is the (open-sourced) starting point for most of what I do on the web. It includes what I believe to be the essential building blocks (a combination of JS and CSS).

• sStory

  A ever-growing quest to combine a variety of mediums into a responsive magazine-style format for the web. Combining text, photos, audio from SoundCloud, maps using Leaflet.js, and videos from Vimeo.
  See a demo here.

• Photoblog

  Though it has cobwebs at the moment, my photoblog is the home of my experiments with documentary photography.
