Circle of Nations: Visualizing Relationships Between Countries

Created an interactive visualization during my internship at Interactive Things to map and explore relationships between nations, aiming to reveal patterns of connection and isolation in the global community through an engaging interface.

Leveraged data from the CIA World Factbook and employed T-SNE clustering analysis to process country relationships. The development journey involved extensive data exploration in R Studio, multiple visualization sketches including beeswarm-style approaches, and the creation of a scrollytelling interface that guides users through different relationship patterns.

Developed a comprehensive visualization tool that effectively displays complex international relationships through an intuitive user interface. The final design uses a carefully chosen blue color palette and Google Material design principles, allowing users to explore country connections through three main components: content cards, organization lists, and an interactive dot-based visualization.
