Joseph Ricafort profile photo

Complex information loses its power when the people it's meant for can't follow it.

I'm Joseph Ricafort, a data visualization designer and creative developer. I build interactive maps, data explorers, scrollytelling experiences, and custom visualization tools — for products, platforms, and teams that need their data to be understood, not just stored. My work has been published by The Straits Times and ISEAS, and I've shipped products like VibeHood, a 3D neighbourhood explorer for Singapore's property market.

Whether you're building a product, communicating research, or making a complex dataset legible for the first time — I can help you find the clearest path through it.

I work with
  • Tech startups & platforms
  • Data-heavy products
  • Research & policy
  • Media & publishing
  • International organizations

Selected Work

Projects that turn complexity into clarity

Interactives

Landing Pages and Data Explorations

Interactive maps, data explorers, and custom dashboards — built with D3.js, MapLibre, React, and Svelte. These projects let people navigate complex data at their own pace, whether it's property transactions, network relationships, or decades of headlines.

Stories

Data Reports and Visual Narratives

Data stories and visual reports that translate research findings, survey data, and complex evidence into something audiences can follow and act on. These cover interactive reports, publication graphics, and data-driven editorial across print and web.

Graphics

Maps, Editorial and Social Media Graphics

Thematic maps, interactive web maps built with MapLibre and QGIS, infographics, and chart systems — each distilling a complex spatial or statistical dataset into one focused visual.

Work that's shipped for publishers, research institutions, platforms, and startups
