Tobias Kauer (he/him)

I'm a Data Visualization Researcher and Designer

My work has a strong focus on user experience, data literacy, and user engagement. I design systems that help people understand and discuss data.

I'm a PhD candidate at the Visual+Interactive Data Group at the University of Edinburgh and I'm associated with the Urban Complexity Lab at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences. I worked as data visualization engineer for the Social Dynamics Team at Nokia Bell Labs in Cambridge, UK. I was an intern with the HCI & Visualization team at Autodesk Research in Toronto, Canada.

I was Creative Director Digital at sinnwerkstatt focusing on user experience and user interface design. I am co-founder of Thinkfarm Berlin, a Living Lab for co-working and socio-economic change.

You can hire me as freelance designer. I have 15 + years of industry experience working for international clients as user experience and interface designer, frontend developer and information architect.
