CHARTED GROUND

DATA THAT CHANGES YOUR WORLDVIEW.

Charted Ground uses data, research and visual storytelling to reveal the patterns behind the issues shaping Africa and the wider world.

The world has data. Knowing what it means is the challenge.

Charted Ground turns complex information into clear, compelling visual stories. We research, analyse and design evidence-driven narratives across economics, development, business, technology, society, environment and culture.

We are interested in the stories hidden inside the numbers — and in making those stories accessible to people who may never open a 100-page report.

VISUALIZATION

We investigate reports, datasets, institutions and primary sources to establish what the evidence actually says.

We identify patterns, comparisons, trends and relationships that make the data meaningful.

We turn those findings into a narrative that is understandable without sacrificing nuance.

We use charts, maps, photography, typography and visual design to make complex information accessible.
