Duncan Swain is an award-winning creative director and co-founder of London-based Beyond Words Studio. The organization — made up of designers, researchers, and strategists — focuses on data-driven storytelling and pride themselves on producing excellent data journalism. As a studio, Beyond Words works with the BBC, Facebook, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Visa, leveraging data to present stories in insightful ways. Duncan has over 20 years of experience in journalism, design, and digital platforms. Before founding the studio, he set the vision for BBC’s digital products as the creative and editorial director at BBC.com. He is a Visiting Fellow at University Arts London and London College of Communication, and a visiting lecturer at Stockholm’s prestigious creative business school Hyper Island.

At Visualizing Knowledge, Duncan, along with Beyond Words co-founder Rebecca Conroy, will give a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio told the complex, data-driven story of the biggest health intervention in human history: malaria.
