About Me

Hi! I’m Flo. I write and make things (code, graphics, stories) for the web.

I am passionate about using incisive storytelling, visual explorations, and novel data to reveal new truths about how we interact with this world and each other.

Currently, I’m an interactive engineer at Citizen Codex, where I create data stories on topics spanning pop culture to public health. My work involves end-to-end development from writing and reporting, to data analysis and data viz design, to graphics and web development. My visual journalism work has also been published in The Pudding.

I majored in Economics and East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University, where I worked on various research projects involving quantitative analysis, data viz, language, and creative writing. Wanting to combine my interest in all of these fields at once, I studied the principles of data storytelling through the Lede Program at Columbia University, where I got my second start designing graphics for the web. I got my first tinkering with Tumblr themes in middle school.

Outside of computers, I enjoy being a minor public nuisance by vaulting and climbing and swinging over things with the lovely folks at Parkour Generations Boston. I am also a perpetual beginner student of the humbling discipline that is aerial straps (and occasionally dabble in other circus arts). These days, I’m drawn to haunted houses, machines as mechanical extensions of organic bodies, fun and idiosyncratic personal websites, making music with code, cursed protagonists, and electroclash.
