Award-winning designer Nadieh Bremer drops in this week to chat about her Google Trends project “Searching for Birds.” Nadieh walks through her research process when she’s not a “bird person,” including exploring many public datasets and narrowing the story with writer Emily. She explains how sketching led from feathers to an egg-and-nest metaphor for ranking bird-type searches, why egg colors were stylized, and how she built an egg-shaped Voronoi treemap to step from bird shapes to types to species.
