TOMMY MCCALL FOUNDED AND OPERATES Infographics.com, a boutique data visualization agency, in New York City that specializes in presenting complex and rich data sets. As an infographics designer, editor and producer, Mr. McCall brings together three realms of experience to present, visualize and understand complex data. As a designer, he aims to find the natural shape of the data and sculpt it into something captivating and beautiful. As a data editor, he finds the stories and shares the insights hidden within what is often a vast sea of information. As producer, he oversees programmers, designers, data analysts, animators, and illustrators to realize his vision. In all roles, he must understand the information, question its veracity, and convey its core message. Mr. McCall believes that graphicacy, the ability to communicate data through charts, diagrams and maps, is an emerging essential skill set just as literacy and numeracy have been for past generations. As data collection and generation is exponentially increasing, he is excited by the opportunities to pioneer new chart forms to communicate specialized data sets so we may find the hidden insights that would otherwise be lost in a sea of text and numbers in a database or spreadsheet. Mr. McCall’s editorial clients include the New York Times, MIT Technology Review, Harvard Business Review, CNN, Fortune, and TED conferences. Corporate clients include Gallup, Nielsen, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey, Ralph Lauren, Kimberly Clark, Cirque du Soliel, GlaxoSmithKline plus dozens of financial institutions including Bank of America and the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. McCall was the infographics editor for Money Magazine and a graphics editor for the New York Times before launching his studio. He was named one of the Top-30 Financial Journalists Under 30 for his visual storytelling and has won design awards from the Society of Publication Designers. His first interactive piece produced for Inc. magazine won "Best Online Tool" in 2010 from Folio Magazine and was nominated for "Best Online Tool" by the Association of Magazine Editors. Mr. McCall has explored over one hundred countries spanning all seven continents. Recently, he has taken a sabbatical to combine his a passion for travel with film making to produce video “mediations” in ultra high definition intended for large-scale projection. In
