Visual Capitalist
We’re Gathering the Best Visual Talent From Around the World
Here at Visual Capitalist we stand for a world where data can be better understood by everyone. Over the last decade, we’ve published a new data visualization almost every day and now have around 3,000 on our website—all available for free.
But today, we’re taking this to a new level with the Creator Program by Visual Capitalist, which gives you access to a brand new curated feed of charts, infographics, motion graphics, and interactives made by world-class experts from around the world.
The Creator Program opens up our site to talented people outside of Visual Capitalist who share our commitment to beautiful, digestible visuals based on reliable data. This will allow us to publish even more great content for you and at the same time empower Creators by giving them an audience and compensating them fairly for their work.
All the best,
Jeff Desjardins
