    My skills timeline

    January 4, 2019January 21, 2019 by Helen Ilus

    This is the last of the time chunks series I created for my persona. I started it in November, but somehow it remained unfinished and I wanted to finalize this, before moving on to new things.

    Infographic about coffee breaks

    November 1, 2018November 5, 2018 by Helen Ilus

    As I have been designing an online info design course these past weeks and working my way through lot of materials, I’ve been inspired by David McCandless’ beautiful visualizations to make this infographic about coffee breaks. Due to clock change in Europe I was playing around with the concept of time and somehow it evolved … Continue reading Infographic about coffee breaks
